I'm also going to place a little tribute here for an amazing person that became a friend...
he passed away last night.

Layton Kor
he was revered and respected as one of the legendary climbers of the world...famous for big walls and first ascents..his ascent of the Eiger
http://www.alpinejournal.org.uk/Contents/Contents_1966_files/AJ%201966%20256-260%20Gillman%20Eiger.pdf

I was lucky enough to meet him decades ago when I was out climbing..and we climbed together several times and did routes that he had made famous. He had a twinkle in his eye and a childlike silly sense of humor.
He will be missed.

Saw one movie about that Eiger effort, it is really scarry mountain. Respect.

I think the soul of a city is in the hidden and out of the way places.  :cheesy

I was awed by things I saw along the canal...

Caruut are you serious??
google the map of the canal...it is so interesting..and the locks etc along the way  :angry :) :)

and Florrie one of these days I would love to see the canals in Amsterdam and country..!! it looks beautiful! :cheesy

oh and Caruut..there is a funky little Canal Museum near Regents...
it is interesting and I like little out of the way quirky places...

I visited the Regents Canal near Kings Cross...there also is some Banksy art on the walls nearby...

Haha, yeah one of my flatmates just came in from a run along the canal and was horrified that I'd never been. Might go along and see the Banksy, though.

The last two days in London have been so amazingly good. First proper weekend of sunshine this year. I was in Hyde Park yesterday for the 420 celebrations and it was so nice. Sun still shining today too, I'm just sat near my window chilled out with music playing. What a day.

That's Yorkshire, my home region, though I absolutely couldn't stand that Victorian-industrial area around Huddersfield. It's all damp valleys, child abuse and sooty stone (as can be seen in mew's picture).

Take your bike kit, mew. Lots of great cycling over there among the Satanic Mills, including one of the UK's iconic climbs Holme Moss within spitting distance, though I'm more of a Yorkshire Dales man myself.  :cool:

That's so cool, Mew, canals are awesome. I've seen some docus (I love architecture/renovation/interior design programs) on river boats and they also spent lots of time featuring a canal, can't remember which, but it was in the UK. I have always wanted to see the canals in the Netherlands, that's a dream for sure.

Darn, the vid won't play on my phone *grrrrrr* will have to catch it later on the laptop.
