Yorkshire legends...

r.I.p Fred trueman, a true legend. I'm sure he would be happy knowing he was watching over such a busy bar.

3 minutes down the track....

Its the banging west riding bar. Not more than 20ft from stepping off the train! Now that's what I call handy. I thought the pubs at huddersfield station were pretty good but heah, this place pips them. Full of lovely memorabilia. Some cracking beers including a pint of lightyear, last seen on spaceflowers birthday.

The dog eating cat from batley

A hop, step and jump from the platform is the cellar bar with its dog eating cat!

Molly's far too interested in the beer to even acknowledge the cat.

Here's she's seen drinking saltaire's red lion ale. England vs USA later tonight, needless to say, everything has flags on it, I'm sure it won't be the first England themed beer we are today.

Nature bites back

Well, sunny weekend camping in the forest of bowland. What a little jem, despite the fact that its in wankyshire (Lancs).

Cracking 15 mile walk in glorious weather, stumbled across a footpath closed because of the potential injury to walkers from, of all things, eagle owls!

Plenty of wildlife up here, more curlews than I've ever seen, woodpeckers, trout in the smallest streams.

While cooking breakfast, we were subjected to an aerial bombardment of blue tit fledgings. Indeed, one hit the car door and nearly ended up on the stove. It managed to seek sanctuary on the roof of the tent. Bullet tooth Tony had to move swiftly to rescue it to a nearby wall. Hope it makes it.

Spooky fish

I walk the dog up here most lunchtimes. There are so many trout in here its mad. It never gets fished but the fish are so spooky. It doesn't bode well for my clumsy wading style when I'm actually trying to catch them!

Beer from the coast

Our lass brought us this back after visiting southwold in east Anglia. Even better, she managed to wangle a discount from the brewery shop!

Hottest weekend of the year in the very high 20s. Hope its nice and got next weekend when we're camping.
Oh and the beer, yeah pretty good, follows a bbq with king prawns nicely!
