Thanks, yes, I know where both those places are, never been but driven past many a time.
Looks like you were in a good spot for the sunset tonight.

This was a quick snap from the bridge at Ramsbottom which I thought rather atmospheric.
Had a wander up the Martholme Greenway from Mill Lane to the viaduct, last time I came up you couldn't actually walk on the viaduct, but seems to be open now - though the Northern end is still fenced off - but you can at last walk along it's length...
