Jack Scout - Morecambe Bay

BrazilianVWbay.com Northern Meet 2014

Whilst everyone else was chilling in the wonderful mid summer sunshine, I took a short walk down to the cove at Jack Scout and watched the fast tide coming in. Then a short walk along the cliff edge back to the camp site.

Little Nook Farm Caravan Club CCL

I stayed at the Little Nook Farm CL for my visit to Hebden Bridge. High up the valley with wonderful views and a half hourly local bus service from the front gate!

Hign Brown Knoll & Midgley Moor

A glorious hike around Midgley Moor high above the Calder Valley.

Rochdale Canal - Hebden Bridge to Todmorden

The Rochdale is a broad canal because its locks are wide enough to allow vessels of 14 feet width. The canal runs for 32 miles (51 km) across the Pennines from the Bridgewater Canal at Castlefield Basin in Manchester to join the Calder and Hebble Navigation at Sowerby Bridge in West Yorkshire.

The Rochdale Canal was conceived in 1776, when a group of 48 men from Rochdale raised £237 and commissioned James Brindley to conduct a survey of possible routes between Sowerby Bridge and Manchester.

I walked the 5 mile section from Hebden Bridge to neighboring town Todnorden.
