On Wednesday 24th April this month’s walk started and finished in the village of Calder Vale, an area of much history.
The name Calder is thought to be derived from the Old Norse "kaldr" (cold) and it certainly can be even when warmer all around!!
We walked anti-clockwise which was flat to start with, then a steady 130 foot (which it transpired was a 130 METRE) climb up hill, for one mile to the main road.
I'm sure it's this way
From the top of the hill it’s easy and down hill to the church
until finally we walked through the wood covered with bluebells - the whole purpose of going.
It really is an awesome sight and if readers have not experienced it, it is well worth a visit before the end of "bluebell season".
We cannot guarantee that if you go down in the woods today you're in for a big surprise but some of the ladies found something surprisingly hilarious.
