Walkers make the most of the sunny weather on the Huddersfield Narrow Canal at Slaithwaite.
After the kids have served you breakfast in bed, what else can dads look forward to on Father's Day?
There's the obligatory hand-made card but often there's not much else on the agenda.
This year, why not really push the boat out to celebrate Father's Day, which is on Sunday, June 19.
Here's our guide of fun things to do in Huddersfield and beyond that all the family can enjoy...
Picnic at a beauty spot
The Packhorse Bridge at Eastergate, Marsden
Return to one of dad's childhood haunts for a picnic. There are some lovely spots across Huddersfield - Magdale at Honley; Castle Hill; the reservoirs above Holmfirth; Beaumont Park; Standedge Tunnel at Marsden, and so on. Pack his favourite snacks and a bottle or two of pop/beer.

Movie matinee
Flash Gordon (1980)
If it's raining, choose a family-friendly film and get dad his favourite snacks and pizza. Little ones will love Jungle Book, Finding Nemo and Toy Story. Older ones might like Back to the Future or The Incredibles. Huddersfield-based film critic Tony Earnshaw, whose daughters are aged eight and 10, suggests watching Jason and the Argonauts, Flash Gordon or The Red Balloon, a French short about a boy and a sentient balloon.
Trip down Memory Lane

Go for a bike ride
A crisp Spring day - Slaithwaite Canal Huddersfield (Image: Jess Cullen)
If the kids are old enough, get the bikes out of the garage and head off on two wheels. A ride along the canal towpath from Milnsbridge to Marsden will blow away the cobwebs. Stop off for lunch in Slaithwaite or Marsden. Treat him to a pint of Yorkshire Blonde from the Riverhead Brewery Tap, Marsden.
Take a hike
Yorkshire Water's Holme Valley reservoirs, Yateholme Reservoir.
Huddersfield is blessed with beautiful landscapes, so why not explore the landscapes around Holmfirth. There are walks around reservoirs such as Digley, Ramsden, Yateholme and Bilberry. Pack a picnic.
