Starting to stack up

Among a number of appointments today I met John Hendy of Creative International Adventures at Shaw Lodge Mills, Halifax.

Chimney stack at Shaw Lodge Mills

Over the last year or so he and his team have renovated the previously derelict boiler house of the huge and architecturally impressive mill complex.  Inside, climbing, caving, circus skills, archery and other activities can be practiced by local young people.  The building also provides a base for expeditions locally and further afield.

John has big plans which will benefit young people in the Calderdale area.  I hope I can be part of them.
