A senile delinquent.Tech,outdoor stuff,history,art,nature,bicycling,science and ALE.Yes a dull middle aged man.
A grim dark December day. But feeling a little giddy. Theakstons Old Perculier in a wooden cask is settling in the cellar of my local. At 5.6% I really should get the shopping done before I partake. #realale #craftbeer #brewing #beer

In the UK, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's friendship with Epstein has led to total disgrace.
He's been stripped of his titles, reduced to the status of a pariah.
Nobody is defending him.
He's a TOTAL disgrace.
In America, Jeffrey Epstein's close mate, Donald Trump, remains the president.
Insane.

I recall some social media,tabloid nonsense about this phenomenon a few years ago. My last few rambles have been on moorland around 900m. This jelly like substance has popped up here and there. A water sodden dead puff ball appears to be the most plausible . #fungi #mushrooms #hiking #nature

The blessing and the financial curse of your local boozer being a micro brewery. Irwell Works Brewery. Unicorn Milk Stout left to finish in a oak Rum barrel. #craftbeer #brewing #realale

When on a walk or a bike ride. Sometimes the path is chosen for you. Reclaimed flags crossing a Pennine peat bog. A ribbon unfurled across otherwise sub aquatic environment .😁 #nature #hikeing #cycling #mtb #landscape

Top Mill(built 1870)Shuttleworth Lancashire. One hundred and odd years ago. Machines hammered out fabrics and broke human bodies. The site was an abandoned Clough for decades. During the pandemic the locals reclaimed the narrow valley as a community park. #nature #hiking #photography

Far too hot for hiking for my delicate Northern European constitution. The E-bike is out. A point on the moors where the boundaries of four towns meet.
Marked with a boundary stone. Rawtenstall,Bacup,Ramsbottom and Whitworth meet on Hailstorm ridge.l

Bull Hill ,view of the Peel monument,Manchester skyline.With the Peak District hills in the background. After warmer climes it’s good to be walking under clouded skies at a pleasant 13°c #hiking #photography #landscape #Manchester

Hardly a hike,only 8km.But a walk that takes thousands of years. Butrint national park Albania. Shaded paths reveal amazing ruins from ancient Greek-Rome-Phoenician-Ottoman empires. #hiking #archeology #travel

June 1761. The full facts of this tragedy are lost in time and shrouded in folklore.Memorial to Ellen Strange,her murdered body was found at this spot on Holcombe Moor Lancashire.Last seen arguing with her husband in a nearby ale house.She never made it across the moors to her sisters farm. #hiking

You may have walked upon a little piece of this unfashionable corner of the Pennines (and my kitchen floor) without realising it. Haslingden flag stone graces Trafalgar Square many miles south in London. Nature is slowly healing this scar the quarry men long gone. #hiking #nature #landscapes

Working today.But still managed a stroll. I sometimes wish I was a poet and not an engineer. The warm sun of a late spring evening.Contrasting with the overgrown shaded forgotten graves.Expressing this is beyond my artistic reach.But so many thoughts of death,rebirth and how I need another pint.
