Leadmining village walk
17 of us set off from Taddington Village, passed through fields and
crossed beautiful but steep Deepdale and made our way to the old mining
village of Sheldon. We visited Magpie Mine and continued on to Monyash
where we stopped for lunch at the Bulls Head Public House. We then
headed for Flagg, Chelmorton and back to Taddington. The rain held off
and a nice day was had by all. Several of us bought Duck eggs on route
with Harvey having what looked like an Ostrich egg in his box!! We did
however encounter an extremely rude gentleman in a pin stripe suit that
obviously did not like us "walkers" and he let it be known, water off a
ducks back!! The afternoon finished with a drink in the Queens Arms in
Taddington.
