Whittle-le-Woods. Intriguing. Cuerden Hall. Crossing the M6. For most of this century, the junction in the picture has been as far North as I ha... A low tunnel. I'm smirking because another cyclist just rode past me while I was posing. The diversion wasn't signposted as well as the one in Manchester but it was pretty easy to follow. Approaching Preston. The River Ribble in Preston. Preston Station. I used to change trains here a few times in the couple of years before I bought a c... Preston. The bollards have red roses on them. It's another hot day so I would really like a lot of the drinks and ice creams which are being adver... The University of Lancashire.

On one side of Garstang, the milestones on the A6 look like this. On the other side, they express the numbers in this bizarre way.

Some people on a table out of this shot were just fini... Breakfast comes with a shot of this yellow drink, which is made from orange, lemon, ginger and somet... Lancaster. A red rose motif. The River Lune. It must be low tide. A bird making tracks on the mud. The site of the old Halton Station. Now that I'm upstream of Halton Weir, the Lune is no longer tidal. The old railway line crosses the river twice in quick succession at a bend called the Crook O'Lune. ... This cycle route has red and white roses so I guess it must go to Yorkshire. It's hard to tell from the picture but this is the view down a steep hill which I am walking up. The... A view. Sheep in the shade. The view back down towards Lancaster, Morecambe and Heysham. A bend in the road. This is Postman Pat country. I can see some big hills up ahead. I wrongly guessed that this was the Settle-to-Carlisle line. It's actually the line from Leeds to Ca...
