Who's going Lune(y)?
Well moving on with the updates; we have been up to Lancaster. The idea was to walk the canal through the middle of the town, mainly to find quite a magnificent aqueduct over the Lune! First part worked fine, nice sunny day, we parked near Roger and Gills and off we set....
After 3 or 4 miles we get to within 100 yards of the aqueduct to find it 'closed'!
Had a chat with a local fisherman who suggested we leave the tow path and walk on up the main A683, heading for the M6, but take a quick left by the Holiday Inn and walk the cycle path back along side the Lune into Lancaster - what a walk....
Anyway, some pics of the aqueduct from the Lune...

Back in Lancaster the M&S Cafe 'Revive' took on new meaning...
Called at Tim & Fionas on the way back, but finished off with Fish & Chips in Great Eccleston.
Good day all in all. Next will be me Mum 'swinging' at the Ping Golf Centre...
