Sadly Vocation brewery shut their bar down on 6th November without any warning, saw the one in Sheffield has closed too. I think only their flagship bar in Hebden Bridge remains open. I was going to do what we did two years ago, organise pizza's there. The Piece Hall probably will have Halfiax's Christmas Market going too (I have not checked). **Start Time:** 09:45am **Miles/Kilometres:** 9mi/14km **Total ascent:** 530m **Difficulty:** Moderate **Estimated length of time:** 4-5hrs **Dogs Allowed:** Yes **Public Transport:** Yes train leaves Leeds at 08:47am. **Parking:** Plenty of parking beneath the station or on-street parking. **Payment:** £1 for the walk - Use this link to pay - [https://settleup.starlingbank.com/jamie-pope-b52348?amount=1.00](https://settleup.starlingbank.com/jamie-pope-b52348?amount=1.00) please put "Halifax" as reference. **Overview** Meet outside the station. The walk starts by walking over the concourse and then cutting through to Church Street and then up Bank Bottom. We cross over and ascend up an old cobblestone footpath up the hillside and then veer off onto a footpath that comes out onto Beacon Hill Road. We cross over and continue ascending up the hillside. Once at the top we turn right and come out onto Beacon Hill for views over Halifax and beyond. We continue along the hillside and then loop back round to where we came to the top. It's then along a footpath passing an old Victorian tower and then down to Shibden Hall Road. We cross over and descend down to Shibden Hall. We continue descending through Shibden Park, we exit the park onto the A58. Then its a short walk on pavement alongside the road. We turn off down a road to Old Halifax Road, walk along this briefly until we can take a footpath through woodland & meadows, until we come out onto a country road called Walter Clough Lane. Its along here briefly then take a footpath up and over the hill, snaking around old mining quarries. It is then down Ashday Lane into Elland Woods,
