Walk – Haworth Old Road, Shackleton Knoll
Lisa and I decided to go for a walk today but fancied something a bit different so we caught the Keighley bus from Hebden Bridge and got out on the descent to Oxenhope, just above the Wagon and Horses pub.

Road… Ride of the Falling Leaves
In honour of the ‘Race of the Falling Leaves’ which takes place tomorrow in Italy (Il Giro di Lombardia, The Tour of Lombardy), I decided to nip out this afternoon and do a ‘Ride of the Falling Leaves’.

Walk – Todmorden
The weather was lovely today, but my legs were a bit stiff from yesterday’s tough bike ride so I didn’t want to do a ride today. Lisa rang to see if I fancied a walk so we decided to make our way to Todmorden along the canal towpath to snap up some of the bargains [...]
