Monday 16th September

We expected a wet day but the main issue turned out to be blustery winds which at times almost halted us in our tracks! We did 44 miles - the last mile on foot due to gale force winds off the sea at Morecombe. We have slightly detoured off the usual route to spend a night with friends Jane and Dave just outside Morecombe. We actually cycled a short distance today with 2 other End to Enders but I doubt we'll see them again as they plan to do 90 miles a day. We had lunch in Garstang (6miles from Pilling!) which is an attractive little town and then had a walk through Lancaster which  has a most imposing castle in the centre.Tomorrow we head for the lakes and back to the hills! happy days
