I just joined City-Data, and really enjoyed watching such interesting travel photos added within this post. I'll upload my exciting travel pics as well from my upcoming tour to Brazil.
After having to work over Christmas I really needed to get out and do some walking today. Took a bus to Tunstall, way up in the north-east of Lancashire.
It was a bitterly cold morning, I half expected snow but it didn't..
Down Church Lane I went. The house on the left had a date of 1753 above the door.
Happily, the church was open to visitors and the heating was on inside. Most welcome.
The fells to the east of the church had a light dusting of snow. It must have been cold up there!
From Tunstall church I took a public footpath north.
Leck church with Leck Fell behind.
Approaching Cowan Bridge.
Leck St Peter's. This one wasn't open.
and the view in the opposite direction.
Cowan Bridge. The nearest building is the village store & tea room, a rarity in such a small village.
Cowan Bridge's claim to fame!
Now approaching the market town of Kirkby Lonsdale and we've crossed into the county of Westmorland. In the distance on the left is Devil's Bridge but what had caught my eye is on the right, just above the road signs.
A World War 2 pillbox.
Devil's Bridge, one of the finest medieval packhorse bridges still standing in the North of England.
Walking into Kirkby Lonsdale I spotted an old milestone.
Time for a few photos in Kirkby before catching a bus back home.
Market Square.
There's my bus coming.
One last photo of the fells before being able to sit down at last. And I was home before 3:30pm. A very nice, and interesting, day out.

I did this trip myself in August 2011 within nine days by driving alone my own car from my town to Eindhoven and the other way around.
First day, from Segovia to Pancorbo to breakfast, then Irún to a petrol station which is located right on the French border, then to eat on "D" point, then to dinner to "E" point, and finally I reached Asservillers to sleep:
Second day, from Asservillers to Lille to a cheap petrol station, then Kortrijk, BE, then Biervliet, NL, then Terneuzen for a supermarket, and finally Middleburg, NL:

Philips Stadion is there:
