Blackpool Heritage Trams
We did two trips on the Blackpool trip using Blackpool Heritage Trams. Both were great value.
The first was the Coastal Tour from Blackpool North Pier to Fleetwood and return. The trip was non-stop with about 45 minutes in Fleetwood. The tram was a 1930s 'balloon'. Around £8 return.
The second was the Illuminations Tour from Pleasure Beach to Bispham and return. It covered the full stretch of the lights without the need to be stuck in traffic, wrestling with crowds on the service trams, or further pounding the streets. Around £11 return. Highly recommended.

The food was excellent, the carriages beautifully turned out and the staff were excellent. A warm day for it with us being on the 'sunny' side of the train but it was summer after all.

New Video: Moving Swift-ly On 6. A Cycle Down the Rochdale Canal
It might not be for everyone as it is extended GoPro footage from the handlebars, but for those not familiar with the area, hopefully it showcases the lovely stretch of the Calder Valley between Mytholmroyd and Todmorden, where we had a coffee and turned round.

New Video: Moving Swift-ly On 5. Cragg Vale Coiners Walk
One of the reasons for going was to walk the Cragg vale Coiners' Walk, a circular route taking in the history and locations of the Cragg Vale coiners, a notorious counterfeiting gang from the late seventeenth century.
And of course, afterwards we stopped for a pint!
