I thought there was some taller narrower bits of Lead Mines Clough if you follow it?
Looks good in full spate though :)
 
Rivington and its waterfalls look great for the Manchester area. I'd love to know how to get there via public transport.

I got rid of my car before I got into photography as I never used it. Now I have this hobby I wish I had a car.
 
OK this is streaching my memory but Smithills hall can be got to via the 527 bus from Bolton town center near the post office. I used to catch that bus to college. Probably a 5-10 minute walk from the entrance off smithills dean road. Or you can get the 501 from Farnworth that takes you near the junction of mossbank way and SD road and then your have a bit of a walk down and up the hill to the entrance for the hall.

The blue lagoon, I'm not sure if its still there, the owner pulled the plug on the reservoir as he wasn't prepared to pay the costs of maintaining it for flood protection. There is a group that are campaigning to get it sorted, the last I know was it had refilled due to all the rain and the group were being allowed to sort it out.

For the others the GMPTE site has a journey planner on there maybe that will help you out.
