This was taken on a guided walk around the town of Bacup. A local group organises these walks every Sunday. The guides have a fantastic knowledge of the history, archeology and geology of the area. We went through one of the local quarries that is being turned into an 'Adrenaline Sports Centre.'

There were a couple of guys on these trial bikes (no saddle) and the adrenaline must have been flowing through their bodies. They made the most amazing and dangerous jumps. This one was probably the easiest. I should have chosen a faster shutterspeed as there is a bit too much blur for my liking.
