So you will have played around the area before they pedestrianised it, I mooched right around the outside of the lodge came across the sluice gate that channelled Woodnook water into the lodge, and the sluice gate I photographed took the overflow back out into the same stream.

Today was a walk around the outside of St Mary's Graveyard, Altham, and back through the middle.

Thanks, it was only a half hour walk, but still managed a few snaps.

Is there a proper path around the lodge now?

not a path as such, but fishermen use the lodge so access can be gained all the way around, but you have to reverse as it is not a complete circle.

Well, today was a long day, with an early start and late finish making an 11 hour round trip to near Forfar. The morning was bright but misty, the afternoon chucked it down. So the pics I planned to take on the way back weren`t possible.:mad:

Wish I`d set off sooner then it wouldn`t have been such a rush.

I really like No.4 - great atmosphere. And the lidless church is really interesting :)

It`s a shame I missed so many, there were some really good misty shots I couldn`t get, the problem with being on the motorway, you can`t just stop to take pics.
Found the church by accident, i tiny little place called Eassie.

today in pictures, a walk around the Huncoat Colliery site, there are plans for a motorway link road across the site but don't know how much will be effected.

1. Through the gates and found this log full of these jobbies.
2. The motorway runs just over the hill.
3. Thats the length of the site, but first a left hand mooch.
4. First down to the wet bit.
5. Autumn droplets.
6. Its a long time since this had nuts on.
7. Brown bracken, wasn't it just yesterday when it was green and growing.
8. A teasel basking in the sun.
9. I'm in clover.
10. The local RSPCA Centre.

As today was a day off (for those of us that work in Counties with the majority of the population being of the Catholic persuasion) I could have a bit of an amble so I did.

Swans going line astern at the "Larbergsee" - Wartime relic, a collapsed bunker on the approach road to Achmer "Ahnenkult" airfield (It's now a home to a local bat population) - Our house! As seen from about 2km away on Pente ridge (erstwhile searchlight location) :)
