Stumbled across the Whaley Bridge Transhipment Warehouse today - what an incredible place this is for a potter - brilliant selection of secondhand books, DVDs and CDs and super cheap!!

Found a nice route between Poynton and Whaley Bridge via Port Shrigley Not too much traffic and lots of hills

A brief but lovely walk by the Whaley Bridge canal. It was only brief cos I was carrying 2 lots of milk, roses, and a packet of wine gums (which were for me) 😆🥛💐

12km up the Goyt valley from Whaley Bridge to Chapel en le Frith

Link from Peak Forest Tramway at Bugsworth Basin to Whaley Bridge train station (trains between Manchester Piccadilly and Buxton). There is an underpass to turn from the Bugsworth Basin branch of the canal towards Whaley Bridge; it has steep cobbled ramps. cycle.travel/map/journey/...

The Labour Party said I wasn’t fit to continue as county councillor for Whaley Bridge & Blackbrook. The people - overwhelmingly - said I was. Ruth George - 2,662 Conservatives - 785 Reform - 711 Liberal Democrats - 223 Labour Party - 168 Green Party - 118 — feeling thankful.

Can't believe I forgot to post my best goose babies picture of the year so far, by the Peak Forest Canal near Whaley Bridge on Monday...

FAB MARKET TODAY! Local traders, selling arts, crafts, food, drink and more! Don't forget to check out the preloved book shop in the Transhipment Warehouse too, and if you can spare a donation for the food bank, you can drop that off at the warehouse. #WhaleyWhatsOn

Air quality remains poor in Whaley Bridge due to the ongoing moorland fire near Errwood reservoir. The Cat and Fiddle Road, where firefighters have been tackling the substantial blaze since yesterday morning, is open, but drivers are advised to use the route with care as crews are operating there.

"What is going onn?!" Another win! Whaley Bridge Incline is the latest to win big against barriers, confining some awful examples to the bin on a useful route out into the Peak District.

One of the best things about going for a walk in the Derbyshire countryside around Whaley Bridge is coming home. I love returning by the canal towpath at the end of the day & rounding the corner to see the Transhipment Warehouse, with its cheery lights gleaming across the dark water. #WhaleyBridge
