Walking on water shouldn't count!
Hope you were at least wearing trunks when that picture was taken.

I was living a bedsit, and riding a motor bike, and was aware of it but have no strong memories of it.

Local beacon, on Beacon Hill, was due for lighting at 9:45 tonight, and I couldn't be bothered going onto the road to see it.j
How did the bingo go tonight, your brother calling the numbers again?

I could only just about be bothered to look up where Beacon Hill is in Halifax!
(From the railway station, look up over the top of the Nestlé factory opposite. It is above Trooper Lane, an extremely challenging climb which I had always intended to cycle to Halifax to tackle, but never got round to. I probably never will now because my heart doesn't like very tough climbs as much as it used to!

There's a road* that goes up, from Berry Lane, at the opposite end of the Nestle site from Trooper Lane.Not the way that I 'run'... Or ride!
*Trooper Lane isn't steep compared to it.

If you mean Southowram Bank... Yes, that looks tough, but I have just checked the data and Trooper Ln has it! SB is 932 metres at 13.6%; TL is 723 metres at 17.8%.
To make it more obvious I have overlaid the profiles...
Also... TL has a sting in the tail - COBBLES! SB also has a reminder of old Halifax...
... but there is a handy tarmac strip to cycle up in the middle of the road.
Trooper Ln though...
AAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Perhaps we should challenge @PaulSB to go over and attack some of the tougher Calderdale climbs!

On the map, the grey road off Berry Lane/Bailey Hall Road. Goes straight up to Southowram Bank, you cross it and continue up to Beacon Hill Road. Then, from there, it's a dirt track to the top.

Morning. Afraid giving up caffeine doesn’t seem to be helping my insomnia 
I’ll give it a bit longer though as some people say it can take as long as several months before you feel the benefits.
Wordle done in 3 this morning in less than a minute so that didn’t occupy me for long.
