The storm Ciarán was hitting the south coast as i drove
north on a dark and rainy M6. I reached the roadside parking
area near Threlkeld and thankfully the rain had almost stopped
as I set of walking. It was overcast cloud so I couldn't
appreciate the autumn colours at their best.

The walk was interesting and easy and I was looking forward to
the Bobbin Mill Tunnel and I wasn't disappointed when I arrived.
The internal lighting is quite good and it was good to see lots
of people out walking. Approaching the end of the route and the
old railway Station there were a lot of people heading my way.
Along the route are several excellent information boards and old
photographs. I stopped to have my lunch sandwiches and then
joined the old road which follows a high level route through
Brundholme Wood. It is now closed to vehicles due to subsidence
and minor landslides. I descended past Bundholme then up the
hill to Wescoe and along the lane back to my car.
