We set off at 07:00 in Robs car and it was quite nice although the car temperature gauge was reading 3 degrees. We thought we would have a trip to Shipley Park walking on hard standing so we parked up near Osbourne's Pond. Got booted up and went onto the Nutbrook Trail past Osbourne's Pond and Shipley Woodside Colliery. We bumped into a couple of lads with drones, fantastic machines then around the bottom of the big lake and up into the grounds of Shipley Hall where we stopped for breakfast. There was lots of area's covered in Snowdrops around the hall grounds. After breakfast we were back on the track and past the Tea Rooms then back to Osbourne's Pond where the swans were nibbling at me and our Rob. Back to the car and Rob thought we would have a quick visit to Mapperley reservoir. There was a few fishermen about and we were lucky enough to spot a Kingfisher.

A great little walk, although the light was rubbish it did give a bit of atmospheric lighting especially through the trees.
See you next week
