New Hey brick quarry nr Rochdale

Nice sunny day and no invites to any expeditions because I moan too much at present :angryoldman meant jump on the bike and pretend I know what I am doing fossil hunting.
The site's an old brickworks quarry so you never know what might turn up. Come off the M62 junction 21, head east and you will see the quarry on the left, turn left towards the quarry at the mini roundabout and park next to the school, round the back of some terraced houses. Then walk through the bushes, couple of hairpin bends and you're there.

that back passanger side tyre is well bald al!

I like the colour scheme, rusty ochre I'd call it.

Friend of mine called at the Mort Arms on Thursday night. As he walked in a chap at the bar said matter of fact "your cars on fire". He'd parked it near the Post Office, went to look and the firemen were finishing putting the fire out.

I went to take some pics, hoodies stood nearby, as I walked past I said, "they've got em on camera, they know who it is", they shot off!

Ooooooooh leather and a hammer ;)

Wheres the damn bike though?

Bloody hell, are things that bad up in Tyldesley now? I used to drink in The Mort, along with the Black Horse.

That's a proper name for a pub that is! I wish we had proper pub names here in Macc.
