Salmon were running but was not successful in catching it on camera. This bridge was just upstream of the salmon jumps

Nay lad, nowhere near Bratford :p was about 40-50 miles north of BRADFORD though :D

The lane cuts across from Silverdale to Ribblesdale.

The heron was at the bottom of the weir on the Ribble just outside Settle

The bridge is packhorse bridge built by Samuel Webster in 1672 across the Ribble by Knights Stainfort

The deer was spotted just to the west of the Helwith Bridge Inn

Lovely looking country side there Brendan. Water is something that is in short supply in most places out here these days.
As both our families roots are in the Old Dart, we hope to make it over there in the not too distant future.
Keep up the laneing and post as many photos as you like.

Whilst I am a 'namby pamby bloody sotherner' (Surrey) I did go to Leeds University for a while and lived at Rawdon - but spent quite a bit of time at a mates place in Idle.

Sometimes I miss it - then I remember the bloody weather:D

Mind you the main thing I do miss from that neck of the woods - is a decent curry - there was one in Idle called the 'Passage to India' - locally known as The Back Passage to India;)

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm:p

Just coming into autumn over here... My thermometer read 4 degrees the other morning.

I'm hoping for a harsh winter this year.

My thoughts exactly. We can only dream of real weather. Afraid I'm not one who believes in it being hot all the time. No winter to speak of in coastal Qld.
Will move back to Australia upon retirement.

Yeah, 40 to 50 miles is "just around the corner"!
I love the place names, sounds like you're talking in some kind of code!

Which department at Leeds Uni?

I got my degree from physics dept there then landed up working there until they booted me out. Best thing which ever happened to me.

I did some joint research with John Fisher and spent quite a bit of time with Devon Darby in the Bioengineering lab in Mech Eng.

That was back in the early 90's
