Yesterday I walked around the woods above Calf Hey Reservoir near Haslingden. The area was home to several "whisky spinners" in the nineteenth century and they had to be inventive to hide their stills from the law. Bentley House was the home of Jonathan Haworth, who had a secret cellar with the flue from the still hidden in the main chimney of the house. It is now a very out-of-the-way spot in the woods with little evidence that people go there.
The information comes from an excellent new book "The Mystical Moors" by Stephen Oldfield.

Taken yesterday while on a walking tour around Lincoln, was really good. (The first photo was on my way there, up Steep Hill (as if you can’t tell).
Lovely pics...what a facade!
Number 4 cropped in a little and in grainy b and w if I might make a suggestion sir?!?!
 
(Still) haven't been out with the camera in anger for a long time. However, it did find its way into the bag for today's afternoon walk. Luckily there was a game of cricket on in the local field, so I took a few snaps.

Looked like a game of T20 to me. They were playing with what looked like a 'hard tennis ball'. It made a crack when they hit it, but they weren't wearing any pads. Also, they were only using one end of the wicket, not swapping over between overs. The game has certainly changed since I last played club cricket!

Nothing earth shattering, but must admit I had a lot of fun sat there in the sunshine, watching the game and taking some snaps. Might go over on a Saturday for league cricket and bring a picnic with me next time :)
