50 January 16th 2021 The Croal

We decided to continue our exploration of the Croal. This was the first opportunity to test out our new microphone .We parked in the own centre then walked to Gilnow to pick up the river again. We followed it through to Queen's Park where Simon had a long play while I got cold. We then walked into the town centre finishing at the Victoria Hall. We went to Subway for lunch and ate it in the car. The footage we shot can be seen here

 Simon  wanted  to  bring  Josh  along  for  his  trip. The  weather looked  a  bit  iffy  so  I  suggested  we  visit  the  Urbis  National Football Museum  in  Manchester. We  took  a  rail replacement  bus  into  Bolton and  picked  up  a  train  to  Manchester  there. We went  to Subway for  some  lunch  first We then  went  to  the  museum. One  of  the  first  exhibits we  noted  was  George  Best's  mini. We  all  posed  around  the  Premiership  Trophy. This  exhibit  caught  our  attention. I'm not sure  why  this  old  England  shirt  caught  their  attention. Simon  and  Josh  had  a  go  at  ...

 Julie  came  with  us  on  this  one, a  visit  to  our  friends  in  Selside  using  the  new  Dalesrail  service  providing  direct  trains  between Bromley Cross and  Horton-in-Ribblesdale  on  a  Saturday. I  noted  the  crackle  of  branches  as  the  train  went  through  the  little-used  section  between Clitheroe  and  Hellifield. We  noted  the  Fat  Controller at  Settle  station. We  were  met  off  the  train  at  Horton-in-Ribblesdale  and  driven  up  to  Selside. The  view  over  to Pen-y-Ghernt  was  as  great  as  ever. After  a  drink  we  drove  out  to  a  waterfall  where  Simon...

224 Saturday 29th June 2024 Huddersfield Narrow Canal ; Marsden to Huddersfield

Image
 This  was  my  choice, the  conclusion  to  our  walk  along  the  towpath  of  the  Huddersfield  Narrow  Canal. Though  it  was  raining hard, it  was  forecast  to  clear  up later  in  the  day ( which  it  did ). We  drove  to  Todmorden  for  a  train  to  Mirfield  which  was  delayed.  At  Mirfield  we  found  that  our  next  train  had  been  cancelled so  we  were  stuck  in  the  town for an  hour. After  a  visit  to  the  local  library  we  decided  to catch  a  bus  into  Huddersfield. On  the  way  to  the  bus  stop, Simon  decided  to  punch  a  wanker. We  th...
