Walking in Scotland to the summit of Meall nan Tarmachar (Hill
of the ptarmigans) 1,044m (3,425ft) and thought the altitude and
temperature profiles recorded by my gps unit looked interesting.
The higher you go the colder it gets. |

Out on a cycle ride via Fulwood and Chorley. Called to see the
old Windmill on Craggs Row of Moor Lane, Preston. Built out of
red brick in 1760. After the sails were removed in the 1880s and
its flour grinding days were over it was put to various uses
including an overflow prison, piano workshop, garage, cinema
(during the second world war) and a merchant’s storage
warehouse. |

The towpath on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal at Whittle Springs,
Whittle-le-Woods is one of my favourite walks. Especially after
dark when the house lights reflect in the canal. |

My cousin Doreen did a talk about Sir Henry Tate at the Chorley
Historical Society meeting this evening. She also brought some
old magazines from around 100 years ago. The Illustrated London
News of 11 Dec 1926 had some interesting illustrations of a car
modification to a tracked vehicle and also a one man tank. |

A huge thank to the Hesketh Bank Silver Band who entertained us
in the Whittle-le-Woods Village Hall last night (Sat 06 Oct
2018). You can’t beat a live brass band and their selection of
musical pieces varied from classical to modern. I was
particularly impressed with their arrangement of "9 to 5",
originally written and recorded by Dolly Parton and used for the
1980 Film of the same name. |

Carver Bridge |
 |
Early afternoon bike ride via Hoghton Bottoms to Potter lane
then over the rebuilt Carver Footbridge at Coupe Green which
cost £500,000 to replace. The original was washed away in the
December 2015 floods.
The new bridge was built by Lancashire
County Council's in-house team and made from hardwood which
lasts for around 50 years before it needs replacing. It was
re-opened in Aug 2017. |

I was away over the weekend so missed seeing some of the
Whittle-le-Woods Scarecrow displays as the event finished on
Sunday 30 Sep 2018. I had a wander round the village on Monday
lunchtime 1st Oct to see those that were still on display.
Unfortunately some had already been taken down. |

At opticians for my eye tests and while there had an OCT
(Optical Coherence Tomography) scan which is an extra test and
has to be paid for but I think the £35 cost is worth it. |
