There were plenty of inspirational views from the Peak Forest canal banks last weekend - this one was snapped with my smartphone which gave it an interesting if inaccurate effect of being far more distant than it really was. Bright and crisp mornings like these are alright with me and will ease me from summer into autumn. Click to see this week's other Skywatch posts.
Coming up in the north-west this weekend- there is far too much to see, basically! The annual Ramsbottom Festival is from Friday to Sunday with I Am Kloot headlining, the wonderful Public Service Broadcasting, Twisted Wheel, and blasts from the past such as Richard Hawley and Sinead O’Connor.
The annual Heritage Open Days run from 12 to 15 September with free entry to lots of attractions -well known and lesser known- around the UK. Locally there are dozens of options but I have narrowed it down to these which I'd like to get to most of all:
A tour of BBC Radio Lancashire in Blackburn, the Chorlton Eco Showhome in Chorltonville, Ukrainian Cultural Centre in Cheetham, Little Marton windmill in Blackpool, Carnforth Station Heritage Centre (where Brief Encounter was filmed), Whalley Abbey in Clitheroe and an Art Deco guided walk around Morecambe...
Looks like you are going to be busy this weekend - the problem with the Heritage Weekend is that is impossible to get to them all. Thought I heard on the news that I Am Kloot have had to pull out of the Ramsbottom Festival.
ReplyDeleteI am Kloot replaced Future Heads who had pulled out, hope IAK haven't pulled out too... http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/whats-on/music/futureheads-pull-out-headlining-ramsbottom-5920093
