I would agree there.

Very nice colours, lots of blue.

Frank, your pictures are getting better, as are the locations.

[Margaret Pilkington]

Part 1. Today in pictures, the search for Hapton Castle, a lesson in disappointment

1. Thats the direction we are heading for.
2. Whilst waiting, I thought whats Morecambe Bay Yacht club house doing here.
3. Parked up and down the lane we go.
4. were still going down the lane.
5. I wished I'd brought a packed lunch.
6. Right, lets get going on our quest.
7. You will notice from the view point that I have got my socks wet again for the "shot.
8. You can get lost, im not coming down there.
9. As we head away a quick look back.
10. Here we go again water down the boots.

I wonder what you get up to in the Clough. What breed is your Bob?

Part 2. Today in picture, found Hapton Castle, what a disappointment.

11. Following English Heritage location map, I came upon this.
12. Took a few pictures.
13. Not much left is there.
14. Well, you decide!
15. Setting off back, its a bit high up here.
16. The perimeter wall to the field, to the right the pylon used as a ref. point.
17. Is this possibly a perimeter wall?
18. Why is he not worried about the hight.
19. Here we are back at the ford.
20. Back up the lane towards Huncoat Stocks.

What these pictures don't show is myself sliding down a steep slope on my jacksie, or my feet going from underneath myself and landing on my knee and elbow. We get out there, so you don't have to.

Usually there is no one about, so I am able to run naked through the woods, Bob is a cockapoo (cocker spaniel/poodle cross)

He will be two in August, he is totally loyal, from getting up to going to bed he is never more than an arms length away. As I am typing this he is at my feet under the computer table.

It is the most beautiful place on earth as far as I'm concerned- I love it as much as Lake Ullswater -will post some pics from there too.

I have been writing a story which ties the two places together -bit more to do yet but am getting there.

Glad you appreciate the photos -I have others -will look them out!

Pictures of the sunset from my back bedroom window.
Taken just a few minutes ago. I love sunsets, no two are ever the same and they change by the moment.
