Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Reminising Dave?

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

I try not to reminisce, as things are never the same when you go back, somethings worse, others better, I did however remember my old Head Gardener when I went in O.H.P. he died recently.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Was that Arthur?

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

No Arthur died a few years ago, this was Eddie (Edwin)

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Views around Calf Hey Reservoir, a glance at Ogden Reservoir and a few shots of Musbury heights.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

A wet day up Birdy Brow.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Where you up Birdy Brow today. We were on Longridge Fell

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Yes we went up, but not to the top due to the rain , we parked up on a wide bit of road as the car park was locked. I think due to all the logging that was going on.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Was knuzden brook :)

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Looking out from Spring Wood.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Hameldon Woods, it looks like I spend a lot of time in the woods, perhaps I should rob from the rich and give it to the poor.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Look a great place to take the dogs. Is it around bottom of the coppice.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Not really the Coppice, it is up Burnley Road just past the roundabout for the motorway there is a lay by on the right. You can either go straight up and over the style to the quarry, or take a right and do a circular walk through the woods.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Thanks Dave, found a map with it on. Going to take dogs up there over weekend. They love palces like that.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Whitaker Park, Rawtenstall, with a bit of snow from overnight and frost on the ground.
The last one is a trip to Pets at Home.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Went up there today, followed the route on the map I found, I`ve lived in Accrington all my life and I never new we had a gorge!

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

At the head of that gorge is a waterfall, when it has rained heavily overnight can be a good photo opportunity.
Also if you go left you walk through the quarry with its walls, paths and spoil piles from when it was worked, and coming down off the quarry by the main road down the old firing range is off to the left. Check out my Hapton quarry photos on my flickr page to give you some idea of what you can find.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

I did see the waterfall.
I feel like a newcomer, when have we had a firing range?
By the way, I thought castle clough wood a much nicer walk than hameldon wood.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Some great pics there, fathead went for a swim in that hidden pond. Might start taking our better camera out, just a bit bulky for a ten and a half mile walk.:)

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Castle Clough is a wetter walk if you come back along the stream bed since the footpath washed away. Hameldon woods has two sections, the pines, then a wall, then the broadleaf trees and a stream, the same one that runs through castle clough. In summer I think Hameldon is a better walk, but shorter.

As for the firing range, I dont have any specific dates, however Retlaw has actually used it, so he should know.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

I found hameldon to be a bit too man made, the path was worn away and you can see the waterproofing underneath (if that`s what it is) and the trees where just too straight, like they had been planted rather than just grown there on there own.
I think i might go down castle clough again tomorrow.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

The path washed away last summer with all the heavy rain we had,instead of going straight up, go right, it takes you away from the pines and toward the stream and the bluebells, much nicer. Did you find the waterfall at the far end of castle clough?

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Flickr: davemac43's Photostream this page shows the stream through Hameldon woods, there is a strange bit of carved stone that I can only guess was used to dam or divert the stream for some reason.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

I saw one at the beginning, at the start of the ravine but it`s fenced off.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Flickr: davemac43's Photostream
we walkers laugh at fences, climb over and then, rip the gusset out of our trousers.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

You could get round if you wanted to, but there was nowhere to go, just a little waterfall then the stream disappeared. I did get a pic though.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

yes thats the jobby, it can get very photogenic when there has been a lot of rain.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

I guess we started at opposite ends. I came from the canal side.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Got it, I usually walk in from Huncoat, but I have crossed the tracks and canal, and then circled back via th RSPCA centre.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Pendle Hill in the precipitation, and around Churn Clough Reservoir.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Look where I ended up today.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Been home then ,Dave?

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

I didn't like to say, but now you mentioned it!

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Rishton Reservoir and down to the canal, it does look like the tide is out.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Musbury Heights, the return. It was a pleasure to be out in shirt sleeves,............no shirt,.............. just the sleeves.

Nice ones Dave. We haven't seen any bluebells out up here yet.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

It will probably be a couple more weeks before it goes over the border.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Och noo, noo they bluebells! Are they nee deid? :D

Same topic today, only had a short walk. Cutwood Park and reservoir.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Split locations today, The Halo Haslingden, and Hameldon Woods.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

What I thought was a small area to walk around turned out to be massive, and I wonder why I did not know it was there, Huncoat pit site and beyond.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Just bouncing around Cutwood Park today, it looked like it would rain at anytime.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Castle Clough, bluebells are carpeting the area.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Just a short scoot in the woods behind Wilson's Playing Fields. The first one is a 360* due to me not checking the settings, so the trees on the left are also the trees on the right.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

A duplex operation today, early doors, Haworth Park, then Huncoat Colliery site.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Whitaker Park, early for a Sunday morning.

A walk along the canal to Altham and I found more buttercups than you can ever put under your chin.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Didn`t know the camera had a panoramic setting till this weekend, here`s my first attempts. I think I need some practice.:)

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

For a first time there is nothing wrong with them apart from a bit of flare, and that is the sun and easily rectified.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

That`s probably the scratch on the lens, only shows up sometimes, usually when it`s sunny.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

I wouldn't say so, its more likely lens flare, I get it sometimes, its the sweep of the camera that does it

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

A walk close to the River Hyndburn, I say close I am actually stood in it, and you cant get closer than that, plus a weird one.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Knowing where to look, I can see the mark from the scratch, highlighted in the pic. It`s spoilt quite a few good pics, like the second here. Will get a new one before my next hols.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Now you have pointed it out I can see it, but wouldnt have noticed otherwise

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

A walk in the woods, and the edge of Wilson's Playing Field.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Haworth Park and down through Oak Hill Park.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

What beautiful trees. That's where they should be, in a park. I have some round my house, planted by the previous owner. They're far too big for the site even now and will get much bigger. I hate them but if we take then out the roots will under mine a very old wall. Grrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Susie, what you need is a wood burning stove, a good tree surgeon and a friend with a tractor/JCB.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

We have all those thanks, they're not that big actually, mere saplings, but the roots are still going under the wall thanks to the stupid tw@t who planted them and they're very close together too. We have just topped them this year but it's an ongoing thing.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Its a common mistake when planting trees, not taking into account how big they will be in say, 15 years time and then, 20 years. The older they get the more expensive to deal with, 30 meters away from a house or wall is still a bit to close, the roots always extend past the canopy of the tree.

Cut yours off at ground level, then apply stump killer to the stump, digging out roots can damage walls and buildings, plus give you backache

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Thanks Dave, would you believe these are only a few feet apart, think he thought he was planting a hedge.

I will pass your instructions to my tame tree cutter, AKA Richard or my garden gnome. This year we have topped the trees to the height of the fence, probably about 10 ft, the run is probably about 30ft. And the trees are on the outside of the fence, which means they are impinging on the private road and our neighbours' right of way. Grrr what a ****** he was.
