The Greenway ended at the High Street in H'wike and we had a short walk through the town to pick up a more southerly greenway heading east towards Mirfield. The greenways are the old L.M.S and L.N.E.R railbeds, courtesy of Beeching closures.
They are very popular with cyclists and walkers. We left the greenway at Ravensthorpe to take a short cut to the river Calder and our first canal walk of the day through to Mirfield.
We had lunch in a small cafe and then climbed up over a cycle route towards our meeting with the Huddersfield Broad Canal.
However I made a navigational error near a viaduct over the river Colne and we finished up walking by the Colne for a while. It was very rural for an urban area but very overgrown.
Luckily we met a man walking his dog who showed us how we could cross over to the beginning of the Huddersfield Broad Canal. It was easy going from here into Huddersfield.
However my cell phone plan expired yesterday so we had no Google to help us find the Travelodge we are staying at. We walked about a mile past it!!!!
Being given directions to a Premier Inn didn't help, some people think one hotel is much like another. As a result we walked 21.6km today.
