Today in Pictures, a walk I have not done for some time, and it's right on my doorstep.

1. On at the wharf.
2. United Utilities laying blue pipes.
3. Just barging past.
4. Fosters Swing Bridge.
5. Manchester's water as it passes over the canal.
6. Fosters from the other side.
7. Pendle Hill in the distance.
8. A picture I have taken before at various times of the year.

You might be right, but if it works, perhaps MargaretR should get one to get rid of the cats.

Today in Pictures, I like a man with a bit of altitude.

1. The direction we are heading.
2. A pond, visited my the cows on the range.
3. This is the size of a double decker bus, well it was to me close up.
4. Signs of the workings around the area.
5. Flags, never hoisted of the hill.
6. I think this is the bed of the machinery that ran the hoists off the hill.(not sure if hoists is the right description)
7. Thats a funny place for a holiday.
8. When you are stood on the top and look around, the workings and spoil piles are endless to the naked eye.
9. From here it looks like we are level with the top of Pendle Hill.
10. At this end the top of the rocks form a flagged area, of sorts.

Then it was time to leave behind Hapton Scouts and Hapton Quarry.

This week we spent a few days in our camper van at Ravenglass on the Cumbrian coast. Great weather, very peaceful, good pub where we ate every day. What more to ask?

1. Rowan berries in the car park
2. Street furniture old and new
3. It's Sunday and everyone comes out to play
4. Once there were roses...
5. Launch area for boats
6. Looking out to sea
7. A corner of one of the many lovely gardens
8. Looking down the original village street
9. Most of the cottages back on to the sea so have their gardens on the street
10. The bridge for the coastal railway from Carlisle to Barrow
