Hebden Bridge - news and chat

[Shirl]

i went missing in hebden when i was about 8, turned up a few hours later armed with a bunch of flowers.

its a strange place.

And you're a strange person m'dear, you'll feel right at home when you visit

 

[moose]

Are you in yet?

Hi Han
Hebdon Bridge is fuckin ace, in the seventies and eighties it was a bit of Haven for New Travellers, now similarly its a kind of chilled place for alternative folk.
I went up there from Bolton a few weeks ago and even though it was freezing I wanted to stay there, worra bloody place.

I like Hebden Bridge, keep meaning to take Miss Faerie there (amongst other places), to show her there is more to the north than Fleetwood.

My partners from crusty bridge we go and see her folks about once a month. My nipper is in love with the place and loves staying at grandma's in the holidays.
It's a toptastic place, nice beer, friendly locals and the best fish and chips this side of LuddendenFoot.

Same here, suits us. Tell bees work has to come very low on the priorities list
I'm glad that you're coming because I know that you will appreciate my 'gin safe' and my modest (but growing) gin collection

 

[JTG]

If I am to make an appearance then the 22nd is right out. 'tis Ashton Court that weekend

15th is good. Dunno if I'm doing anything then, nothing springs to mind anyway.

 

[wiskey]

i was just about to say "oh but i thought you'd banished gin" and then i read your tag line.



anyway July 15th going once, going twice. . . .

WEEKENDER £79.00

[citygirl]

cant you live a bit closer?

it could be very much cheaper than that wiskey, working on the same principle as us coming to london...in that hebden is not that far from leeds.

and just a bus ride from keighley

oh it will be much cheaper than that (£30 each rtn if i get my way)

but thats not the point

(and keighley and i will coincide soon enough i'm sure)

 

[pinkmonkey]

We plan to take the boat up there next year. Should only take us a month to get there.
