11.45 arrive Wigan Wallgate
11.53 train arrives - board
12.49 arrive Manchester Piccadilly station. Train to Huddersfield pulling in. Run t catch it.
12.57 train sets off
13.29 arrive Huddersfield. walk across platform to Leeds train calling at Cottingley.
13.59 arrive Cottingley (shot 1) leave station, into car park then newly built housing estate. Follow road round. Turn left down ginnel - hope it leads somewhere.
It doesn't.
Turn right towards a road, feel like could be stuck in this housing estate for a very long time. The streets have names like 'Mozart' and 'Vienna Court'. The buildings on the other side of the track look more interesting.
12.10 Think I might have found a way out. (shots 2 & 3) sheds and bridge
12.15 starts raining. reach a main road, bear left. See sign for Morley which passed on train. See building with graffiti around the window (shot 4)
continue along main road (shot 5) tower blocks. See sign ' welcome to Cottingley Hall' with vague map. decide to turn left (shots 6&7) across playing fields.
Consider turning left at 'The church in Cottingley' but then see a bus with the destination 'Leeds' heading anther way so decide to go in that direction. (shots 8&9) Cottingley Towers.
14.45 am near a cemetery still in the housing estate. very quiet around. am getting worried about finding the train station again, although I do suspect I've walked in a big circle.
Head towards abandoned looking play area (shots 10&11) then back to road and follow round.
14.53 think i might be walking parallel with the train line now, just need to find the station.
14.57 can see the sign for the station. Also see a train go past. next one will be in an hour I think. (shot 12)
