Factory Lane this morning.

New water main on Dawson Lane.

Afternoon cycle ride along Dawson Lane to check on the road closure and the new 355mm 10 bar blue polyethylene water pipe that is being laid from Bucksahw and seems to be going as far as the Clayton Hall Quercia site entrance.

I’ve been asked to help out with a local history walk in Feb above White Coppice and over the moors to Brinscall. This morning (Thu 12th Jan 2023) I did a reconnoitre of the route to check if the paths are accessible. Most were except one section that was blocked with fallen trees. I’ll find a way round. I was lucky to miss most of the rain.

Sunrise at the ruins of Coppice Stile House.
