MacRide at Silverstone 2010

[I've retro-posted this because I've been ill and distracted since coming back from a week 'down south'] Time for more family visits over the coming week… I set off from Hebden Bridge this morning with a large rucksack on my back and I walked to HB station for an uneventful train journey to Manchester. There [...]

Walk – Extended Jumble Hole Clough Route

Lisa wasn’t working today and Maisie & Mal were up for the weekend so the four of us decided to go for a walk to make the most of today’s sunshine. M&M wanted to walk up Jumble Hole Clough but since Lisa and I go up there fairly frequently, we decided to modify the second [...]

That particular post is aimed at promoting womens walking sandals, but there [...]
