The Parkland Walk - Crouch End - And The SPRIGGAN!

I started my walk at Upper Tollington, and made my way up the steps and across the bridge.....



















Looks like an adventure playground for the Crouch End kids.....


Plus a mini skate park!


I thought i could hear a rustling noise.....


Is something behind me???


Oh No......... Its The Crouch End Spriggan!!!




Here is a creepy video, just to give you a feel of the place.......



Then i caried on my walk to the old railway station.


As you can see, the platform is still here.
Which is great as the station closed in 1954.



A closer look at the edge of the platform.




A couple of photos of me enjoying the view.....


Time to go up the stairs to the main road!


View of the station from the top of the stairs.
A view of the Crouch End entrance to the old railway station.





The Crescent Cafe! I went in for a nice coffee (it was only 80 pence).




Here is a video of the old Crouch End train station!

Here is a video to give you a feel of the place...........

Motorhead @ Leeds 02 Academy!

The first band on was Girlschool, i just wish they could have played a longer set...



Next up was Captain Sensible's band, The Damned (im not into them myself, and they played a long set).


The place got very packed out (too full for my liking), and then the mighty Motorhead came on...


The photo above was taken with my arm streched up in the air. The view i got was of the tops of there heads, and thats about it. So i didn't enjoy the concert very much :-(
