Along the waterway

Another 17 miles closer to John O' Groats today - Tarleston to Bilsborrow, just south of Garstang.

I am so glad those two days are done though!  It is absolutely no fun at all walking along main roads.  The last 4 miles were along the Lancaster canal so that was better.

Lancaster Canal - A lot prettier than main roads

It was a bit wet and windy at times today and I've pitched camp at a very basic site.  I'll be packing up the tent and kit early on Saturday and then be off again.

Section Three

After a few days' break back at home I've now completed 20 miles of the next section of the walk.  Blundellsands to Tarleton.

It was made much easier by having my old mate Phil Summers walk with me.

It was a long walk, mostly roads, so we stopped off at Ormskirk for a quick cup of coffee.  Which reminds me, don't ask for a large coffee in Costa unless you want to go for a swim - its massive!

It feels good to be heading North again - time to eat up the miles and see nw things again.

Thanks to everyone for making me feel good and a little special!  It's humbling to know I have such good friends.
