More northern adventures

Nine weeks away from home, but we did a fair bit of travelling in that time. 

Mid-October we visited Silv in Alsager, and of course my parents' grave in Sandbach.

With beautiful weather we wandered around Sandbach, walking past my old school. This is the 'quadrangle' where we used to catch the bus back to Congleton, now a staff carpark it would seem.

The Anglo-Saxon crosses in the market place are as impressive as I remembered

The Black Bear Inn, dated 1634!

A couple of days later on a far duller day we walked around the Bolton Abbey estate

Next day, good mate Mo invited us to accompany his walking group from Bingley to Oxenhope...

...past the waterfall at Goit Stock, Harden...

...and finishing at the steam train sheds at Oxenhope for the beer festival (Mo & Tine to the left).

This isn't even all the selection available!

Cheers, Robert & Ian!
