It’s funny how valleys can have their own weather systems.  

Yes, very nice mood.

Wonderful location with really nice autumn colors.  Great job Paul.  

Really nice that they were able to reclaim the old colleries and get it back into nature's hands.

It's documented that £500,000 was spent in 2009 - where over two years, Big Wood and neighbouring Copperworks Wood underwent a transformation to create around 18 hectares of woodland and a network of footpaths within the park area.

Chorley Council and Reclamation and Management of Derelict Land made the work possible, with funding provided by the North West Development Agency, Lancashire County Council, Biffa Award and Action Douglas and Yarrow.

Lord knows what these palces cost for their upkeep nowadays...

Nice work in the mist.

Not ideal conditions to fly in, but you use what nature allows.

Splendid views from the park. Nice work.
