Nab Wood vantage point

I'd an errand to do up in Nab Wood (across the valley from Saltaire) on a beautifully clear day (before the snow and the strict lockdown came), so I decided to take a scenic route that cuts out some road walking and instead follows a little footpath along the hillside. There are lots of trees along the way but there is one point where you have a lovely clear view up the valley towards Bingley and the St Ives forest park on the hill.  It's a pity there wasn't a bench there to rest for a while. I would have enjoyed spending time picking out the various points of interest, not to mention watching the guys doing some roofing work on the house in the foreground. But there was nowhere to sit and the narrow path was muddy and slippery too, so I concentrated on making my way along safely. 

Looking in the other direction, the trees had lost most of their foliage. Through their bare branches, I could pick out Titus Salt upper school - the white buildings in the middle ground - and look up towards Baildon's Lucy Hall estate behind it. Saltaire itself is tucked away to the right just out of shot.
