Steve and I walked from Loxley to Bradfield, over to Strines and Derwent edge. Here we are taking a well earned break at Back Tor, the highest point.

Sights & SoundsBungalows & Bears was my destination for the last night of Tramlines. One of my favourite smaller venue bands, Cloud Boat were playing along with two new bands to my ears Laurel and The Half Earth.
Good sets from each of them

I made sure I caught the full sets of the ones in bold. Nordic Giants were mesmerizing!
Friday night at the Leadmill after a full day drinking…with Jane Carter, Jack Straker and Sue Hilton. Jack got us on the guest list for The Wedding Present. Top gig, and then a full night of dancing to club music at the legendary Rise night and LuvDup.
I keep forgetting to update this blog! Today I drove for 4 hours, using the sat nav for directions, from Sheffield to Wasdale Head. The route was fine and expected at the beginning via motorways to Lancaster, then as I hit the lakes I started to notice it taking me the “shortcut” and not around the coastline on the A595 as I would have done via map nav. I ended up on Hardknott Pass. This seriously dodgy road has some parts with 45 degree inclines, and in most places is only wide enough for one car. Quite an experience, especially when the air ambulance came and blocked the road so a fallen cyclist could be scooped up and whisked off by helicopter to hospital.
I arrived at Wasdale Head and parked in the village green, and then set of up through Seathwaite Farm and by the base of Great Gable.
A quick stop for a self portrait (camera on self timer resting on a rock) showing Scafell in the distance.
Walk with Nigel Darnborough to the Aircraft crash site near Higher Stones Shelf. This is on the descent with Doctor’s gate path in the background. A lovely sunny day, but the wind was quite ferocious.

I found a really informative tech guy who’s posted a selection of methods sharing code that will Hide your Email Address on Web Pages.
You only need to have a very basic understanding of coding to implement any of these options.
Some really good myth busting tips and tricks to improve your site SEO. Surprising to read many of the techniques that the SEO gurus have been recommending for years are probably less valid than you think.
