A Bad Sign

I live in a little triangle of land that sits in between two major roads. There is a third minor road that connects the two major roads, thereby forming a triangle. At peak times our few streets suffer from the Rat-Run scenario where drivers try to out-manoeuvre each other on the way to and from work. In an effort to combat this situation the area has been defined as a 20mph zone and we’ve had speed bumps placed on some of the roads.

LCW Part 4 Section 2

It’s been exactly three weeks since Lisa and I walked our first section of the Leeds Country Way (LCW) and I’ve been chomping at the bit to get another under our belt. Last week the weather was rubbish and the week before Lisa was feeling the effects of a night out with the girls. Luckily, Sunday the 24th May was one of the best days of the year so far and we were both hangover free so we decided to set out once again. As before we decided to leave a car at both ends of the section. This part was to take us from where we left off last time at Thornbury to a point on the A65 near Rawdon.

LCW Part 4 Section 1

Leeds Country WayThe Leeds Country Way (LCW) crosses Whitehall Road close to Drighlington and since that’s the nearest point to home it’s there that we decided to start out on our venture.

Initially we’d thought about using public transport to get to the start points and then return from the finish points the same way. Unfortunately in most cases that would mean a bus into Leeds, then a bus to the start point and then the same in reverse when we were done. Eight bus fares is more expensive than leaving a car at both the start and finish so that’s what we’re doing. Not too green really but we make up for it in other ways trust me.

Leeds Country Way

This is the first post in a new category on the site dedicated to the Leeds Country Way (LCW), or more to the point, my plan to walk its entire length during 2009. I’ve never been much of a hiker or rambler probably since most of my working life has been spent outdoors and I’d get my fresh air fixes either whilst working or playing cricket, flying kites etc. So seeing as these days I’m tied to a desk most of the day I’ve decided that I need to get out more. The LCW seems like a good way of achieving that objective so it seems like a plan to me.
