Rovers Air Force Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 Annother offer of a bed for your stay, free of charge. Not near Blackburn, in Peterborough, but if willing to travel only 2 1/2 hours away, just me and the cat, and I will probably be working most of the time but a crash pad is a crash pad. Plus great for visiting any other areas of the UK especially the big smoke AKA London, 1hr by train. PM if interested. P.S. Offer open to all fellow posters if in the area. Just PM me
Eddie Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 I'll also throw my name into the hat if you are looking to see things in and around London. Guildford won't be useful to getting to Blackburn, but I don't know what the rest of your plans are.
dillo_dillo Posted April 7, 2006 Author Posted April 7, 2006 (edited) Thank you for your kind offer. I stay in Manchester and Blackburn In this travel. next time As for me, Blackburn (Lancashire) is more attractive than London. I'm a big fan of Rovers and same as the place, landscape , people that living, local culture and history. The people misses the charm of the place where it lives. I can't miss it.'cause, I'm a stranger in there. maybe It make different view(vision) on for me. most Japanese Rovers fan's been to Ewood Park, They did just one day trip from London. They didn't plan to stay Blackburn / Mancester area. 'cause Tourist guide is not attatract to us. I feel so frustrate. Edited April 7, 2006 by dillo_dillo

colin Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 Thank you. Could you tell me where is that? and, Could you recommend other good or interesting places in Manchester? 396232[/snapback] Rusholme is known as "The Curry Mile"as it full of curry houses with bright lights, shops which stay open until very late, and a general feeling that you are in India rather than Manchester. To be truthful most of the shops are run by Bangladeshi people. You'd get some good photos there. It is just south of the city centre, past the University You could also get some good photos in the centre of Manchester of you just look up from ground level and see the marvellous architecture which appears above the shop fronts.

(If it is fine...weather...) I never seen badger & hedgehog. Are they living in Lancashire hills?

I'll take it in this time! And, What's the most famous Lancashire's food? I'd like to eat local foods.
FourLaneBlue Posted April 8, 2006 Posted April 8, 2006 And, What's the most famous Lancashire's food? I'd like to eat local foods. 397344[/snapback] Lancashire Hot Pot
Neil Weaver Posted April 8, 2006 Posted April 8, 2006 And, What's the most famous Lancashire's food? I'd like to eat local foods. 397344[/snapback] Dillo, if you're spending any time in Blackburn, I'd recommend a visit to Blackburn Indoor Market, the food part anyway. Must admit I haven't been for a year or two so bow to local knowledge if things have changed a bit, but there were stalls that sold locally made Lancashire cheese, sarsaparilla, and black pudding (just don't ask what goes into black pudding!) - all are local 'specialities' and posters more local than me can maybe recommend which stalls to visit. I take no responsibility if any of these put you off Rovers though!
Rovers Air Force Posted April 8, 2006 Posted April 8, 2006 (edited) Both Badgers and hedgehogs live in and around Blackburn. both are nocturnal, however you are likely the see a hedgehog! they are plentiful in number and even venture into urban environments! Badgers are much more shy, their sets, are not publicized and they are only fund in rural areas, your best bet would be to try and find some local wildlife centres/outdoor centres and see if they run badgers watching schemes. But be prepared for a long wait with little realistic chance of seeing any, they a very shy and will scamper at the slightest whiff of us humans! Edited April 8, 2006 by Rovers Air Force
roversmum Posted April 8, 2006 Posted April 8, 2006 I had a hedgehog living in my garden for several years, it used to come out at the same time every night. Sadly it has died now. I've found it very interesting that when we came here in 1991 there wre few birds about, but somehow, since the M65 was built, there are many different birds visiting our garden! Plenty of squirrels around as well, they taunt the cats in the summer! We can visit the visitor centres in Chorley (Yarrow Valley and Cuerden) and Astley Hall. Don't know if Houghton Towers is open yet. You can sample the delights of Chorley, Dillo! Lancashire is a really beautiful county, it will take you several visits to see it all.

It's interesting.) here If those web sites give you the "postcode" you can put it into here and it will show you where they are. Edited April 9, 2006 by colin
