HEBDEN BRIDGE

Today we ploughed on west and a bit south to Hebden Bridge, set up and baked.! It was just so hot, 33C and at 11pm. We had the best (or was it the worst) ever thunderstorm. The hail stones sounded like gun shots on the MH roof, so loud you couldn't hear each other speaking! We fully expected to find cracks in the acrylic roof panels. Poor Timmy was beside himself with the noise. It was a sticky night with both of us sleeping on top of the beds as we couldn't open any roof lights.

The next day it a was bit cooler but with intermittent rain ready for me to BBQ in the evening- typical! This site is quite small, just 40 caravans/motorhomes but has no facilities other than fresh water and waste disposal so we have to make the most of the on-board facilities. Things are getting easier as we find just where we put things when we packed some weeks ago. The site does have some road noise and a babbling brook! Road noise does seem to stop at night.

We found a good pitch were the sat TV worked.

Above is the main street with a factory chimney in the background. Interesting architecture around here, the stone appears to have been light coloured originally but now is blackened in part. I'm not sure if it is weathered or perhaps was soiled by smoke during the industrial era. Having said that there's not that many factory chimneys around and certainly not any still working.

Someone playing tricks here with balanced stones in the river!

And the actual bridge!
