X58: Rochdale to Halifax
Happy to be out of the rain, but with my glasses fully steamed up, it takes a few seconds to suss out that we’ve accidentally gate-crashed a funeral.

“Here you go,” Pat says, pointing to a clump of dots on his camera’s viewfinder, “I’m pretty sure that’s the top of Muhammad Ali’s head there. I waited hours for that and he’s pixelated to buggery.”

358: Stockport to Hayfield
We pass a cafe called The Scotch Egg, which must have the most magnificent sign in the entire SK postcode. The ‘o’ in ‘Scotch’ is a cartoon of a scotch egg dressed in a kilt and Supergran hat, while the wayward nature of its eggy limbs suggests it is mid-Highland Fling.

Skyline 199: Stockport to Buxton
From a polar bear bench pressing a giant key in Norilsk, the magnificent minimalism of Magnitogorsk’s black triangle, and the bag of wriggling puppies being drowned in a sack on Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky’s standard, Russia has an instinctive understanding of how to best represent yourself on a flag.
Bus Routes In The Netherlands
711: Hook Of Holland to Schiedam
As previously mentioned, I’m really not one for flying. The first time I got on a plane, I spent the first half an hour whimpering and shaking into my mum’s bosom while she had me in a protective headlock.
