James Forrest set out on the 326 mile trek while raising money for testicular cancer charity Baggy Trousers UK
A man visited some of Manchester's rudest places while completing a trek of the UK's naughtiest-named locations.
Other Greater Manchester marvels included Titterington Avenue in Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Dick Field Clough, Ramsbottom and Doffcocker Inn in Bolton. Elsewhere he also went to a woodland labelled Nanny’s Breast and a waterway titled Bottoms Reservoir in his pursuit of pun-filled places. And he visited crudely named streets in Cumbria, Staffordshire and the West Midlands, such as Bell End, Cocking Yard and Ten Butts Crescent. James said: “There was a certain poetry to it, with me living in Cockermouth and my brother moving to near Lickey End – and some silly banter led to a bet that I wouldn’t do it. I hate losing so I ended up going for it, just to prove my brother wrong. 526kms later and I reckon I might just have completed the UK’s rudest hike.
He added: “Some people think it’s inevitably a bit childish. But I think most of those people just don’t have a sense of humour, and many saw the funny side. Ultimately, I like to think my journey was a celebration of the very best of British eccentricity and quirkiness.”
