The B of the Bang

[batman]

It was January when I nipped through a gap in the railings to run around around the 'B'. Perhaps it would have been safer to carry on running along the canal towpaths. If one of those spikes landed on you it would certainly hurt a bit!
Although I wasnt impressed with Manchester's canals I did enjoy the 2 days I spent in the city centre. The business part of my trip was done and dusted very quickly so I had a day and a half to do the tourist thing. The Museum of Science and Industry was fascinating- saw a good exhibition on the 'Bog People'. Also visited a museum devoted to modern cities (can't remember its name). The trams are great fun- couldn't work out the ticket machines but some friendly Mancunians helped me.
Going down to Bournemouth for the week-end tomorrow. Plan to do a bit of 'sea front plodding' myself.
