I rounded off a four night stay in Calderdale with a visit to the Yorkshire sculpture park on the way home. My wife and I agreed to go before we left Hebden bridge and I booked the tickets with my mobile phone. I hate booking things on my mobile!
It’s sort of started to go wrong as we turned in at the entrance when it started to snow, fortunately briefly. When we got to the car park, my wife wasn’t feeling terribly well and opted to stay in the car while I went and explored.
The snow had stopped, but the rain persisted for most of the hour before I decided to head back for shelter. I actually got to look at about half a dozen pieces of sculpture, and I got a good hour’s walk as a result, so the £6.00 entrance fee wasn’t bad value. But I have learned lessons for a return visit later in the year!
First of all travel light: this is not the place for being fully equipped, and I shall strip down to a couple of lenses and a spare battery. And rather than adding the visit on in the afternoon, I shall plan to spend four or five hours there, so that I can explore a decent proportion of the place. I might take a good look at the weather forecast is well.
Anyway, I’m back in circulation, and there will be at least a couple more blogs in the next week. Be seeing you!
