AdamR Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Hello all, I spoke to Steve a few months back about the possibility of organising a run out, but with the twist of having a stop off somewhere to grab some pics and take a few drive-by vids... I had been up this way before but went scouting yesterday evening. There's a cracking road running from Rivington to Belmont, with a car park towards one end (which is also a good place to turn around and go back along it ): https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=rivington&hl=en&ll=53.638277,-2.508316&spn=0.021169,0.038581&sll=47.73855,12.508828&sspn=49.286038,79.013672&hnear=Rivington,+Lancashire,+United+Kingdom&t=m&z=15&layer=c&cbll=53.638263,-2.508007&panoid=jdPP1hNqELXaS_7FkK45xQ&cbp=12,170.79,,0,5.51 Here's what it looks like (excuse the samey pics and sloppy editing, didn't have a lot of time and just slung these together quickly before work): There are a couple of places I could set up with the camera and get some 'drive-by' pics and vids too.Something that may also be of interest is that my bookkeeper does canvas printing, really good quality and great prices - I am sure they would be up for a mates rates / bulk buy discount... Anyone fancy it one evening? That's the best time for some nice soft, warm lighting Cheers, Adam 2 Quote
martyblues Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Looks good to me Adam, are you going to Skipton on Wednesday? Quote
Steve (stevel) Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Spot on Adam we just need to pick a suitable evening Quote
chrisw_82 Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Looks good to me, I know the area well from maintain biking. That road joins nicely into a little run down the back of Anglezarke, onto White Coppice and Heapey. Weds evening weather looks good, but it's the only evening I can't make, so might have to hold out for the next one Quote
