 Simon  wasn't  so  well  this  weekend  but  accompanied  me  in  the  car  while  I  did  a  bit  of  filming  on  some  of  the  footpaths  in  the  Bradshaw  area. We  then  went  for  ice  creams  at  Jumbles  Cafe.

The  footage  I  shot  forms  part  of  this  video.

201 Sunday 14th January 2024 Rochdale Canal towpath : Hebden Bridge to Sowerby Bridge

Image
 Having  got  the  bit  between  his  teeth, Simon  wanted to finish  the  towpath  with  the  final  section  into  Sowerby  Bridge.. This  was  a  direct  repeat  of  a  trip  from  the  classic  era  in  January 1980.  We  drove  to  Hebden Bridge, stopping  at  Nutty's  Butty's  along  the  way. We  parked  at  Hebden  Bridge  station. We  picked  up  where  we  left  off , spotting  a  Beatles  fan  moored  up  there. Where  you  have  to  cross  the  main  road  to  rejoin  the  towpath  between Hebden  Bridge  and  Mytholmroyd , there's  now  a  droll  sign. There's  now  some  fancy  ca...

287 Friday3rd to Sunday 5th October 2025 Runcorn weekend

 For  our  next weekend away, we chose the Campanile Hotel, Runcorn.  Warnings of a storm over the weekend overshadowed it. The  journey there was uneventful and we found the hotel without too much trouble. Simon had some chips and I had some ice cream in the restaurant before we turned in for the night.  In the morning the weather was pretty wild and we ran across to the main building for breakfast. After that we raced across to the station for a train to Chester. Ours was one of the few  trains still running. We  huddled in the waiting room until the last minute. By the time got to Chester, the weather had calmed down considerably and there were no delays to our train to Rhyl. We caught the bus to Rhuddlan but when we got to the castle it had been closed due to the weather conditions. this seemed like a disaster but I had noted the bus was going on to Denbigh. I found a number for the castle there and got confirmation it was still open so we mov...

289 Saturday 25th October 2025 Wigton and Trigs

 Julie had booked a weekend away at Green View Lodges, Welton  so I presented Simon with some  options  and he selected filming some nearby trigs. The footage will  appear here  in  due  course. We  went  into  Wigton  for  lunch at  La  Barista  restaurant. In the afternoon, we covered another  trig  and  also a  pele tower near Mealsgate.  The footage will  appear here in due course. We  returned to a  footpath near our first trig because I realised I'd left my walking pole there. I did manage to retrieve it. We went into Dalston to do some shopping before returning to the lodge.
