306 Sunday 22nd February 2026 Salmesbury Hall

 This  was  Simon's  choice. We  went to The  Fernhurst in Blackburn for lunch beforehand.

I  had visited Salmesbury Hall in the late nineties when it seemed more like an antiques showroom than a museum so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. Despite the signs for Reception, it wasn't clear where the main entrance was and there was certainly no one around to meet and greet. We  then came  across  a  dressed up tour guide and  her party and piggybacked on the tourfor a visit to a witchs room  which we probably weren't supposed to do. 

We then found our  own way to the ghost room associated with the White Lady legend.


We  completed our  look around the Hall on our  own. 


I noted there is now an exhibit on the photographer and  conservationist Stanley Jeeves who  was  the  driving force behind  the  Hall's development as an attraction in the seventies which was good but  there still isn't an opportunity to view his renowned AV presentations.

We  then had a game of crazy golf which as usual these  days, Simon won



We concluded our  trip with a visit to the tea shop.


We then drove home.

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

Image
 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...

285 Sunday 21st September 2025 The Calderdale Way. Clay House to Ripponden

Image
 This  was something I'd recently  mooted to Simon, walking the Calderdale  Way, something the old LTS  did in 1979. We  drove to Todmorden then caught the train to Halifax, Simon bought a bacon butty from the  kiosk at the station before we caught the bus to West Vale. We bought some provisions there before crossing over to Clay House. The building itself now looks empty and forlorn. Before we set off , I showed Simon the alcove where Mick, Steven and I had sheltered after completing The Calderdale Way in October 1979. There is now a signost to mark the start There was a bit of uncertainty near the start where a concrete yard is now disused and fenced off  but we eventually got on the right track and  enjoyed the view over to Wainhouse Tower. A gren lane led us to the start of the section along  the top of North Dean Woods At points, there were  views through the trees across Copley and its railway viaduct to the Tower. Later on , ...
