Bramhall

A short trip across The Pennines to meet up with some old friends from Redcar.
Leaving Muker we crossed the Buttertubs Pass, passing only one cyclist near the top, then dropped down into Hawes. We then followed a route via Horton in Ribblesdale to view the famous viaduct, turning off to pass through Settle before pitching south towards Bury where we found a supermarket to top up with some fizz.
We arrived at Gill and Richard's in early afternoon and enjoyed a wonderful weekend of idle chat and laughter in the evening sunshine.
On Friday evening we had a bbq in the garden and a few beers/wine stretching into the early hours.
Saturday was another sunny day so we walked out to blow some cobwebs away and refreshed at The Thieves Neck. This was followed by a delightful meal at "Bombay2Mumbai" in Bramhall to celebrate Richard's birthday earlier in the year. A fabulous weekend, long awaited. Such dear friends - and a real treat to get together and have a proper catch up on each other's news.Read more
