2 w. ago From Steel City to Cottonopolis: a new walking trail through a post

The nostalgic Steel Cotton Rail Trail between Sheffield and Manchester has 14 day-length sections, with walks for urban explorers and summit-bagging hikers alikeThe Pride of Cumbria train carried me out of Piccadilly station and, eventually, beyond built-up Manchester.
