All is quiet on New Year's Day (Explore 06/01/19 #7)

Rivington Pike, Horwich

First outing of the new year, which is becoming a bit of a pilgrimage for us and hundred's more. Always windy at the top of the Pike and not much to shoot presently, but it's a marker for the rest of the year. Go early and you can count the number of people there on your hands but after 10am, it's a different story!

While I was studying Mechanical Engineering at Bolton Tech in the 80s, this record was played every single day in the Student's Union bar during term time for the three years I was there. Sometimes more than once!
One of my all time favourite songs and the album that got me into U2.
