I parkled in Langsett Road North in the middle of Oughtibridge. There were crocuses in flower on the village green. I walked through Senescal Park then followed the road to the field below Coumes Wood. I had passed this way on 5th January 7 and remembered the sign saying there was a bull in the field which, again, there wasn't. I followed the path along the north edge of Coumes Wood and then into it. The path on the OS map goes west to meet a track just north of Coumes Vale. But before I got there I came to a footbridge that was in desperate disrepair, rotting away and falling apart. I didn\'t fancy crossing it. Happily there is a path not marked the map that stays north of the river and eats the same track a little further north where bitterns sharply right and throws off a branch to the ;left towards Lumb Biush and another to the north. I followed the left branch to the edge of the wood and then a path across the d=edge of a field to meet the road at Onesmoor Bottom. I followed the road NW to the crossroad and then followed the field path, watched by horses, to the top of Onemoor. Then back Lumb Lane and I pounded tarmac back down the hill to Oughtibridgel
