Re: big bumps on the coppice...?

Re: big bumps on the coppice...?

Re: big bumps on the coppice...?

Re: big bumps on the coppice...?

Viewed from the A 56, heading towards Haslingden, the hill is quite impressive. It is also higher than the Coppice, (Coppice-245m, Kings Highway-279m,) according to the Ordinance Survey. In addition...

Re: big bumps on the coppice...?

Re: big bumps on the coppice...?

It rather looks as though, despite the hundreds of thousands of pounds lavished on the creation of their website, HBC have still not got their e-act together yet.

Not to worry though, there is...
