Pick your second and a good saw bones.

Who wants to do fisticuffs (or pan bashin' for that matter) after a few Beers? If we do the Beers bit, we'll be all mates & everything! No need for the pans, non-stick or otherwise. (I'm giving you an honourable out here Gremlin)

You will never find anything interesting walking on the path, the bushes is the better option,..........there is also the possibility that you could get arrested..........but you have to suffer for your art.

Today in Pictures, Walking in the woods behind Wilson's Playing Field.

1. Start point, just off Warwick Avenue.
2. Further up the same path.
3. A bit of die back on some older trees.
4. I went all giddy when I came across this, its a Giant Polypore fungi, its the size of a large beach ball.
5. Followed by this collection of Dead Mans Finger fungi.
6. Down the other side of the woods, Clayton Hall in the distance.
7. The priests walk, it was once paved all the way to St Marys Church (demolished), Altham, these are the last of the paving slabs.
8. Looking across the top of Wilson's Playing Field, Whalley Nab to the left and Pendleton Moor to the right.
9. Heading back down to Warwick Avenue.
10. I can see right up your bracket, the underside of a bracket fungi.

Thanks for the interest, I am a bit behind with my uploads so when I can get sorted there will be a bucket load to add, and thanks for the kind word.

It's interesting to compare these with the Panoramic shots - the viewer gets a narrowed, but more concentrated sense of the scene. Incidentally, my Grand Uncle Richard Dobson's name is on this memorial I believe.

Pick a day when the sun is in the sky and the rain is in Spain though.
I don't have any special walking gear apart from some old boots.
By the way Cashy, I will have to polish my halo after reading your post.

PM me for my details.

I`d love to, but off on my jollies tomorrow. Maybe next time.

I feel like Edmund Hillary about to tackle Everest.
This is a new adventure for me.
I have a pair if old boots and a camera monopod walking stick to go with my best Harris Tweed suit. Will I need oxygen or will my TNT spray be in order?

The panoramic shots are more of a documental photo, and due to the wide sweep can be under-exposed at one end and over at the other, they are not great photos but put a bit of perspective into the scene.
Next time I am in the area will have a look for his name.

P.S. Just read through to here and see walter has given you more information than would be on the memorial.
