Spyke85, I’m an Art Director/Designer, it’s with an agency near the Walton Summit Centre. I’m definitely going to be coming up to have a look. The company look good, would prefer not to name them on here for obvious reasons. As many have already said the riding is great up there, plus housing is more affordable.
Thanks for the offer of advice everyone. I may take some of you up on that offer if it progresses further.
I lived in Longton to the south of Preston for a couple of years & went to college there.
There is an established travellers site in the centre of Preston next to some UCLAN student halls, and I remember at the time the travellers complained to the council that the students were lowering the tone of the area 😆
Prestons not quite the armpit of the Northwest. Go along the M65 and see Nelson for that.
DTF, I actually bumped into that guy from the vid one night in town. He was a pretty sound guy, but in a much better state than in that vid haha
😀
Funny you should say that….a mate of mine has a mate who knows him (or summaat like that). He sent me a link to his facebook page; there were a few pics of him wearing a t-shirt with his own infamous gurning face on the front!
Work in Preston live in Darwen. Easy commute and some fantastic mtb riding.
As has been mentioned Abbey Village,Brinscall Wheelton Belmont. Lovely Areas. Garstang to the North lovely. Longridge to the East and Clitheroe easy access to the M65 and Walton Summit.
Egerton in Bolton again nice village. Feniscowles at Blackburn. Edgworth at Bolton. Harwood Bolton, my mum commutes to Preston from Harwood takes 45 minutes. She enjoys the drive through Belmont onto the M65.
The M65 however is a absolute nightmare, accident everyday on it.
Where did all those cars go before they finished the M65 in 1997? Heading from Rossendale up to the Lakes we used to go around the northern Blackburn ring road and through the junction at Brownhills.
I’m originally from Devon. So I’ve got no love for the South East really, other than it’s close to London. It’s going to be interesting to come up and have a look around.
I’m about to put a nice little two bed house on the market that’s in Buckshaw Village. Drop me an email if anyone is looking in that area at the moment.
