We are currently roaming in the wonderful county of Lancashire (I was born there

). 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.

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 !

Thanks for the suggestions folks- we had a good tour of Formby Point, Gormley Statues & Southport today. Must find out when Market day is in Hebden Bridge!

They are different

- 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!
