To restart Bury Ramblers walk programme, after the COVID19 shutdown since 15th March 2020, Simon Holder led a group of 4 from Limefield, Bury, on an 11 mile walk. The weather was good for the time of year, fine and dry. Underfoot, it was muddy at times.From Humber Drive, the route was NE over the motorway to Grindles Farm and Lark Mount, then east and north on Croston Close Road and then south and west into Deeply Vale, where Deeply Dale music festivals were held in the seventies. The route continued SE along Cheesden Brook, and on to Black Dad and Greengate Hill, then SE and E along School Lane to Waterloo Farm and south to Mooredge Farm and Plumpton Hall.For the return, the route was west and north, past Hooley Bridge, White Ash, Mawkin Farm and Walmersley Golf Club to re-cross the M66, and walk back to the start.
