Rawdon Colliery trail

Sunday 3rd July
I apologise for not having written in the blog for a long time. I will post about a few walks but they will be out of date order.
This weekend we had been quite busy installing wardrobes and so didn't have much time for walking but we did have just a short stroll to find a few geocaches.
We parked in Conkers and then walked across the road and joined the Rawdon Colliery trail. We had a pleasant walk around the fishing lake and then followed the trail through the new plantation. The colliery here had been closed in 1990 and is has since been turned into a nature reserve - there were loads of wildflowers growing beside the path. After finding a few caches we then crossed some fields, the first had ripe barley, the second had wheat and then after walking through a small woodland we reached the fields where the farmers were baling hay. We found another cache and walked through to Blackfordby, we then had to return the way we had come. It had been a pleasant Sunday afternoon stroll. We had found 5 caches and not found 1.
