River Spen south of Heckmondwike
I had been following the "Spen Valley Greenway" for several miles before getting the first glimpse of the eponymous river - just in front of the trees in this view. Beyond the river is the Heckmondwike sewage works.

Remains of a bridge
At this point the Spen Valley Greenway is not following the exact route of the railway line, which was to the right of the photo; the curved walls here were the abutment of a bridge carrying a works access track over the line.

Descent on the greenway
Forming part of National Cycle Network Route 66, the Spen Valley Greenway runs between Bradford and Dewsbury. From here the two masts at Emley Moor could easily be seen in the distance.
