Todays walk in detail

29/05/2025

Wosborough and Birdwell Circular

On a cloudy morning 26 members set out via Worsbrough reservoir and quickly noticed four very  small Signets with back beaks being shepherded by a swan, sadly one Signet slid down a steep weir to the river followed by the male swan who appeared to be rescue it. The walk round the rest of the reservoir was not so dramatic but provided plenty of views of small Goslings and Ducklings and their parents. The paths continued towards Rockley Old Hall accross the M1 and onward to Broom Royd Wood and past Rockley Dyke where we had snack time. Then up  Miller Hill to Worsbrough village. From there it was an easy descent back to Worsbrough Mill and a watering hole The Red Lion. We had some drizzle for the last 10 minutes but survived. Thank you to all who did the walk and we will try to put more walks on in that area.
