A photo of the day thread

[bobandjanie]

Hi did they say what the lumps were as Charly has just recently got one on his chest Happy New Year best wishes Rod & Mar

Hi Rod, the vet said they was not cancerous just a sort of walt but she was forever having a go at them, so after many warning telling her to leave them alone, we removed them.

The biggest problem was the collar of shame, but Janie had a plan and everything was OK after that.

I can imagine you two laughing now. Bob.

A few from today. Still a little bit of snow around. The last one is Pendle Hill which I’m guessing is around 20/25 miles away.

 

[bobandjanie]

Today was a day on the bikes.

So we got ours out.

35 km a lot off road or orange grove roads. Bob.

A few from our local walk today....

Nice old Beech Tree...

" I'm on the road to Nowhere "

Heading south towards the Lake District Fells which are obscured by what looks like a tidal wave of clouds......

Down to St. Kentigerns Church, Castle Sowerby. A beautiful old 12C church that nestles on the side of the valley...

It needs these buttresses to stop it sliding any further into the valley !! ......

Wasn't sure about posting this image, but have cropped it. It shows the final resting place of Doug SCOTT, a renowned Everest mountaineer, who was local and died just recently. I'm presuming that the coloured flags are a nod to the flags that seem to be everywhere around the base camps on Everest expeditions?

Down the valley to Gillcambon Beck...

The footbridge and Ford to cross the beck..

Same scene May last year..

I wonder which direction North is ??...

The gradual beauty of nature's erosion...

Carrock Fell, again, with a pink scarf on....

"Arn't you supposed to be staying at home??"

 

[dosser]

Smashing walk with the dog this morning wee bit of ice underfoot mind..

Just one today. The ice reforming on the cut after a boat went through.

A little more snow and some heavy skies on the walk today...

Our place lying at 700ft, just below the snow line.

 

[bobandjanie]

I misheard the question today, only hearing can you stay at home tomorrow we are expecting a parcel, so she can walk with the holy ones .
Anyway before I knew it we are up on Orba castle, then dragged up the ermita at Murla. Janie had a good reason to smile.
Come on Bryan BwB get out here, I know what you went through now. Bob.

Lockdown walk number one! Through the woods to coastal path to Charlestown. The erosion by the holiday home is getting closer.

That is very worrying. Will the insurance cover erosion or is it classed S Act of God?

Its quite bad now. The galvanised fence was the original safety fence but you can see in the image that half of the path is sloping as the cliff is undercut. The wooden fence is the second attempt at keeping the path open.

Unconfirmed local talk is the council is going to shore it up. I haven't seen any reports about it though. If they don't do something soon, that house is a gonner!

Strangely, the coastal path on the other side of the harbour is closed due to under cutting. I'll post an image when I get to my phone.

 

[Cliffdale]

Charlestown west side coastal path re routed about 2 weeks ago. First image shows the council fenced off the path.
Second image, the farmer has given up 2 metres of land and the path now goes behind the coastguard cottages

That’s a wide canal. Where is it, please?
It must be amazing to take a boat through the ice, and probably quite noisy.

Leeds Liverpool canal about 24 miles west of Leeds. It is classed as a wide canal. We get quite a lot of wide beams along here.

Fantastic canal when there is plenty of water. Always wished we had cruised it more often.

 

[glenn2926]

A bit of an urban wander today. I don’t really like built up areas but thought I would have a change.

A small amount of snow fell overnight.

The three rise locks.

The five rise locks.

A small bridge where the towpath crosses from one side to the other. Designed in such a way as to allow the horse to cross without having to unharness it.

Aqueduct where the canal crosses the river Aire.

A rowing club on the river.

Roberts park built by Sir Titus Salt.

Remember these places? They’re called pubs and a long time ago people used to go to them for a drink.

Salts Mill

The canal passing between two Salts Mill buildings.

I think this is the reading room. Again built by Sir Titus Salt.

I grew up in Bradford and liked all those places

Rather less glamorous or exciting than most of the photos on this thread... but maybe quite useful for an "on the road in the Algarve" motorhomer...

A GPL (LPG) garage AND washing machines with lots of parking spaces right there. The garage shop stocks lots of nibbles and chocolate bars AND there is a smaller (no butcher) "Supermarket of Shame" (English groceries) just off the nearby roundabout.

Imformation is POWER.

Remains of Charlestown battery, the magazine store. Charlestown floating harbour filling up.

 

[bobandjanie]

Today's walk was to Portixol we like this one because we walk from home. Bob.

 

[bobandjanie]

Yesterday Janie's walk with the holy ones was cancelled, so she and two German friends walked up Montgo eye, I had a lazy day at home waiting for a parcel. Bob.
