I celebrated with a walk from Shepley to Farnley Tyas. I made up the route myself. As the above map shows, it was essentially go SouthWest along the Kirklees Way as far as Fulstone and then go NorthWest and North along the Holme Valley Circular Walk to Farnley Tyas. So I got up off the bus at Yew Tree Road in Shepley (shown in this photo) which was one of the roads I used yesterday to get to the railway station.
