214 Friday 19th to Sunday 21st April 2024 Lancaster weekend
Our next weekend away took us to Lancaster. We found a holiday let from Booking.com
We had tea before setting off so just chilled out on the Friday night.
On Saturday, we drove to Barbon to continue the next stage of the Westmorland Heritage Walk. I had done the route before so knew it was more challenging than the previous sections.
We started out up the drive to Barbon Manor before the path went left.
The pastoral scene was very attractive.
We  were  soon  out  of  the  fields  and  heading  for  the  first peak of  Eskholme  Pike  up  a  steep pathless slope.
We  had  a  rest  at  the  rocky  top...
Eventually  we  reached  the  top of  Middleton Fell. Simon flaked  out.
The  trig  point  was  surprisingly  decorated.
There  was  a  good  view  over  Dentdale.
This  was  the  view  ahead  to  Sedbergh  and  the  Howgills
On  the  Sunday  morning we  went  to  Mass  at  Lancaster  Cathedral which  was  pretty  close  to  where  we  were  staying. We  were  a  bit  early  and  they  were  OK  with  us  taking  a  few  pictures.
After  that  we  drove  to  Borwick  Hall to  film  a  video.It  can be seen  here
After  that   we  had  a  bit  of  lunch  at  Booth's  in  Carnforth  before  heading  to  Morecambe  and  Happy  Mount Park. Simon made  a  friend  of  a  horse at  the  car  park.
We  then  filmed  a  video  of  the  Happy  Mount  Express.
We  then  had  a  game  of  crazy  golf. Simon  thought  one  of  the  other  players might  be  John  Lydon. The  guy  did  look  a  bit  similar  but  was  too  young. Simon  won  the  game.
We  then  drove  home.
