Daemon with a halo. Heavy metal mod. Many other contradictions.
Today’s the first day in ages where I’ve not gone for a walk.
Feel absolutely drained. And 100 interruptions per hour thanks to Teams have scrambled my brain beyond repair.

Feel rinsed, so I'm going to start heading for bed. Hopefully, I can get there without the usual two hours of faff!
One last shot for #SundayPixOffTheBeatenTrack This was my daily walk to and from Hebden rail station, and leads to Nutclough Wood.
'night, peeps. And don't bite the bed bugs.

These shots are why I keep deviating from my planned routes, despite the time, despite the aches, despite the nettles, bramble, flies and swamps.
Just one fleeting moment is all it takes.

I really enjoy going well off the beaten track when hiking. #SundayPixOffTheBeatenTrack
That said, these shots are all shown as clearly marked paths on the OSMaps app! Alt-text for details.

I could happily spend all day posting to #SundayPixOffTheBeatenTrack but coursework and housework beckon, as does a workout.
Work, work, work. No wonder I love escaping to quieter trails, like the path I found from my flat up to Wadsworth moor. A brutal climb, but what a view.

One more shot of the (fairly) new church, then the remains of the original church of St Thomas à Becket. They date back to 1256 (and I thought I was getting on).
It's glorious, gothic gloomth.

Handy! Pics from my walk up to the clouds yesterday fit #SundayPixOffTheBeatenTrack
Pottering round my flat in the morning, I could see clouds rolling in, shrouding the moors. I had to be there! So I headed up to Heptonstall in the afternoon for a gloriously Gothic walk. Alt-text for details. 1/2

Saw a patch of blue sky earlier so headed out for a walk around the Greenway.
A few light showers along the way, but 20 seconds from home a downpour arrived. Drenched! But, at least it washed some of the mud off my boots.

According to OSMaps, I’ve just walked 39.45km at an average speed of 66.1km/hr!
It’s flattering but worryingly inaccurate.

There were other people on the tow path so I diverted and squelched up to the moors' edge, then descended through Nutclough Woods.
There's a healthy flow of water at last, with white noise rumble, which was lovely to hear.

Now it's time to close this laptop and stare at another screen.

Do I blow £240 on a poster by one of my fave 60s poster artists? In the 'yes' corner:
The original was never printed as the concert was canned.
Only 150 have now been printed.
In the no corner: the need for a financial safety net, new glasses, a new mattress, and framing costs for said print.

So much for my ambition to kick back with a beer and watch something mindless on TV.
I'm drinking decaf tea as I do some voluntary editing because I don't have enough plates to spin.
