There and back again, twice

Rowe Lane: not what we’d intended! Starting from Tigger’s Ickle Shop (port and lemon marmalade, cakes…), we’d intended to walk the circuit through Holdgate, but (we were half-expecting it) there’s a stretch of road that tends to flood. Sometimes it’s passable, but today we decided we didn’t want wet feet. So we retrace our steps to the start and continue for about half a mile the other way along the lane, turning back where it descends to the ford (and then becomes very muddy). Fortunately, there’s some truth in the saying that things look different in the other direction…
