Dark Skys

Oh I do love these dark threatening skies.
Just a shame I was on the bike and got drenched cycling home later on.
One of the giant electric pylons striding past Hartshead Pike.

Tameside, Colliers Arms

Anyone remember the Colliers Arms next to Hartshead Pike?
Well it changed to a private house a couple of years back, and it looks like it’s changing again.
This is what we see now.

Hartshead Pike

Hartshead Pike on the Pennine range. Built on the site used to warn England of invasion. A line of bon fires the length of the country would have been lit. The tower has been re-built several times. The last times were 1751 then this current tower in 1863.
It’s a stiff bike ride for me to get up to it. About three miles from my apartment, all up hill.
