We are currently roaming in the wonderful county of Lancashire (I was born there :D ). We have explored the Panopticans and G8DHE has plenty of Panoramic photos in around those. I have ticked a couple of places off my list, Boundary Mills being one, but I was just wondering if anyone knew of any hidden gems. 8)

Right lets see we did pass thru Hebden Bridge a couple of times and I do want to do some Pano's there so I think that will be on the list, Yorkshire not this trip unless its on the way back down, but it is a favourite, especially the Restaurant at Akebar Park camp site :-)

Gravy wrestling ?
Last years winners, Elliot Rooke, who was dressed as a Bunny Girl, and Elisa Samson, who wrestled as Little Bo Peep, will be defending their crowns.
That sounds like fun, I wonder if I could do a Pano as they face off to each other ???? But the question should be what will Evil Edna go as .... Suggestions please - she's watching drowning men looking out to sea off Crosby at the moment ;-) Whilst I make a brew in the Van !

They are different :shock: - well worth a visit, that stretch of coast is always a bit windy though but there is a good long car park which is free - perfect place for a bongo brew and flapjack!!! I will post pictures up when I get home! :lol:
