Nicky Nook

It's behind you! (Blackpool Tower, that is)
Suggesting a walk up Nicky Nook revealed that it was a place that held special memories for several school-friends. Being Fylde Coast children, it was an easy way "to get out in the hills" by public transport for those of us without cars in the 1960s and 70s. And, to ensure we finished the "tiring" hike, we’d all faced parental bribery and corruption ranging from promised views of Blackpool Tower to 99s in Scorton.  The atrocious weather on Saturday saw the deployment of similar tactics with the lure of "lunch at The Barn". Unsurprisingly we didn't even glimpse Blackpool Tower!!
