A lush time of year to do this route taking in the many woods across the Calder Valley. Woods carpeted by bluebells and ramsons. There were great sightings of many wildlife including roe deer, jays, thrushes and quite a few very healthy looking badger setts throughout. At times the paths are tricky to run, but there are many that aren't. The waterfall at Callis Woods was a godsend for a quick splash and a top up of the water bottles. Overall a great route devised by local artist Chris Goddard, immersing oneself in the beauty of this part of the South Pennines.
