I paid a visit to the Lady Lever Art Gallery in Port Sunlight, once part of Cheshire. The gallery is home to many beautiful artworks including the Scapegoat painted by William Holman Hunt in 1856 #ladyleverartgallery #portsunlight #thescapegoat #williamholmanhunt #111places #Merseyside #cheshire

Not happy with the blazing BBC weather persons. “Sunny intervals” they said. It’s been about -5C and I’ve not seen a sunny interval all fecking day! Just that little tent of blue above Manchester Cathedral. Ah, well! The sun shines on the righteous, I guess.

The sun shining brightly underneath the clouds as it goes down. The sky is several shades of blue and yellow, making it resemble the Ukrainian flag.

I have to confess I was thrilled to find this place. Don’t judge me. As with all outdoor activities there are risks involved. Good equipment and plenty of experience helps to mitigate these risks. #becarefuloutthere❤️ #eryri #gwynedd #parccenedlaetholeryri #cymru #snowdonia #wales

Cairngorm Mountains. Linn of Dee to Derry Lodge where we pitched camp by Luibeg Burn. Took the path via Craig Bad an t-Seabhaig to Derry Cairngorm (1155m). From Loch Etchachan a steep climb of 400m led to the Barns of Beinn Mheadhoin then to the granite tors atop Beinn Mheadhoin (1182m)

Today was all about bridges. The Forth Rail Bridge, the Forth Road Bridge, the Queensferry Crossing and the Tay Road Bridge. #firthofforth #forthrailbridge #forthroadbridge #queensferrycrossing #edinburgh

The Middlewood Way is a lovely 10-mile (16 km) shared-use trail in northwest England, stretching from Rose Hill, Marple to Macclesfield. It traces the old Macclesfield, Bollington & Marple Railway (1869–1970) and was converted into a greenway in 1985

Friday evening bike ride to Adlington then along the Middlewood Way to High Lane. Return via Woodford, Wilmslow and Styal, 35km.

The Middlewood Way is a 10‑mile greenway in Greater Manchester and Cheshire. It follows the former Macclesfield, Bollington & Marple Railway, which closed in 1970.

Good point subtly made Alice. In truth the Calderdale moors are a wasteland, given over to the slash and burn tactics of the driven grouse shooting industry 200 years ago.

Such a beautiful evening I went for a bit of a bike ride. Discovered a sneaky path across the old Woodford Aérodrome and got a close up look at this beautiful piece of kit.

The Avro Vulcan was a British jet-powered strategic bomber used by the Royal Air Force (RAF) from 1956–1984
