Goodness, how I get it wrong, a few days back I mentioned about getting "River" by Ted Hughes and how I enjoyed it in the 1980s. I did read it in the 1980s but it was not the one I was enthusing about, it was a different poetry book  "Remains of Elmet" by Ted Hughes and had brilliant photographs of the Calderdale Valley in Yorkshire. Fiona and I, with Miles, walked the Calderdale Valley in the early 1990s alongside the canal and it was really brilliant in the freezing cold temperature and bright Pennine Winter light. We walked right up to the Summit Level where the Rochdale Canal starts. It was really fascinating being at the point in in the Valley at the canal watershed where the water went neither one way or the other. I think we will go back there pretty soon.
