It is against the law to trespass on any land , river,lake as well as any building.
Ignorance of that fact is no defence under this law.

I neither found it defensive or anything else, the typed word is very difficult to get the emotion behind it right, just wondered what would happen if I mooched around an open building.

Thanks Dave, it was a very nice weekend away, 850 miles round trip made it a bit of a drag driving though.
Plenty more pics to sift through after i`ve had a kip.

G, number 7 does it for me.....and yes the deer are(I wanted to say cute - but I don't like that term)beautiful.
I wish I could have been there too.....I would have had a proper satisfying snapfest!
Well shot, that man.

Whenever I have seen deer in Scotland, by the time I got my camera out all I got was their backsides as they disappeared.

Agreed Dave - great photos -it's a place I've never visited. I especially like the first two (scanned all the Loch photos -no sign of a monster!) Enviable pic of the red deer...look forward to some others of the area when you've had time to sort through them.

I see what you mean about the trees! Some interesting photos - you do have an eye for the funghi. Lovely to see some signs of spring - I am especially fond of wild daffodils and bluebells.
Here the autumn leaves are all squelchy and slimy underfoot because of the recent heavy rains. It's another mizzly day!

Last year the bluebells were that late it was almost summer by the time they were out, and even then they didn't flower all at the same time, so they went of for a while, but without the impact of large swathes of flowers.
The ground here is saturated, and large areas I walk in are covered in mud and water, we have had a sink hole in Baxenden to the rear of houses (only know what is in the papers) and I think that is a result of all this rain. It was over old mine workings.

Baxenden families evacuated after backyards collapse (From Lancashire Telegraph)

Is it shoe mill colliery or the lead mines?

Re: Today in pictures

Apparently it started in the yard of 536 Manchester Rd.The Coal Authority may not have detailed plans of the workings. You can go to view what they have at the Mining Record Office by appointment. They have a website.
The last thing they will do tho is admit liability for this major subsidence,It becomes a long drawn out legal matter.They are supposed to have historical liability for pre 1947 workings but in practice they will do their best to get out of that liability (No surprise there then).
