Not really a day for pictures as route checked the way to Wakey from Farsley by running.

By far the biggest change since February was at Gawthorpe - council owned land which had a gorgeous green path, now formed into a Tunguska tribute. Nothing on planning permission portal, so dunno what's happenning - is it the powerline clearing that seems to be going on everywhere? 🤷♂️
The farmers were busy with harvesters, you do worry how the dry spell has impacted crops as that's pretty early. Though by the looks of the meadow near Batley, it's better than burning - I wonder if this is the field we saw burning from the airport on Saturday?
Otherwise, still pretty much my fave mid-distance route.
