I have just been reading the posts on Hacking Boat which have taken me right back to my school days,(I think a lot of posts do that for most people) mine are happy days two or three of us and dogs walking from Clayton down lower Barnes st over to Gt Harwood up to the church and over Whalley nab then on to Hacking Boat.
One time when we went must have been a hot sumer day so we took our shirts off, i got terribly sunburnt so bad i was off school for 2 weeks,so even now i do not sit out in the sun.
When Easter came round one year four pals and dogs took a tent and went to camp out there,settling down for the night was not easy with the dogs and a tent only made for three,but we all eventualy got of to sleep.Dont no how long after we were woken up covered in ants, jumped up and ran into the river and it was freezing,when we got back to the tent we watched the ants carrying away pieces of our only loaf.
Decision made to go home.
Never been in a tent since, caravan yes.
