You are not far from hebden bridge in Leeds, amazing riding around there and it’s a quality town for a day trip. If you do end up moving to Leeds I would fully recommend a trip to a pub called the moorcock inn near Sowerby bridge which is up on the moors, the food and beer is incredible. In the summer you can sit out front all afternoon ordering all sorts of delights off there bbq.

You work in TV innit? I can put you in contact with some friends at perform/dazn. We went through the let's move to Leeds thing a couple of years ago and stayed in Hebden Bridge for a week. Lovely countryside but not for us in the end. Isn't the Calder valley so deep there that there are people that don't get any sunlight some months of the year? Sumfink like that.
I'm looking at Leeds again, depending on how flat sale (EWS1) goes here. I'd rather stay at my current company but I can't help but think the quality of life up there will be so much better. I'd be able to cover the mortgage and all the bills with like 2/3 my paycheck then anything my partner earns is extra. Jobs look alright, may take a slight pay cut but nothing too drastic, honestly the main worry I have is not finding a job that lets me work from home ideally 3 or 4 days a week to look after the dog. I'm getting excited at the prospect of the Dales and Peaks in touching distance, could even take up mountain biking.
