102 Friday 14th to Sunday 16th January 2022 Lancaster weekend
For this weekend away we made our first use of airbandb, staying with a lady called Felicity in Hala,Lancaster. We had a little difficulty in locating the flat but everything was A1 once we got there. There was good parking across the road and a Chinese takeaway nearby. I introduced Simon to the delights of egg fried rice.
The following morning was a lovely day. We drove into the city then went to Wetherspoon's for some breakfast. We passed the Judge's Lodging building on the way.
After breakfast we headed to the castle to film a video which you can see here.
We enjoyed the tour apart from an arsehole know it all. You can probably identify him on the video.
After the tour we did a little shopping .
Then we drove into Morecambe for tea at The Station. After that we had a short walk along the promenade including the obligatory pose with the Eric Morecambe statue.
We returned to our flat and stayed in for the rest of the evenng. I rang our friends in Ribblesdale and asked if they wanted to do a walk on the Sunday. We agreed to meet in Ingleton at lunchtime.
The next day we said goodbye to our hostess then drove up as far as Hornby where we stopped for breakfast at a nice tea room. We then drove up to Ingleton where we met up with our friends. They suggested a little stroll from Chapel-le-Dale so we drove up there. We had a little look round the church first.
It was a lovely afternoon for a walk. Simon spotted some strange art in the trees near the church.
We were walking on the lower flanks of Whernside.
We moved up the valley closer to the Ribblehead viaduct.
Shortly after we'd passed through a farm without incident we heard the farmer effing and blinding at some other walkers who were straying off the path into his meadow. As we neared the end of the walk we noted Ingleborough disappearing into the mist.
After we finished the walk we drove to our friends' house in Ribblesdale for tea and cakes. Simon tuned my friend's guitar and did a bit of playing. We then drove home with a petrol stop in Settle.
