Up North the weather was smashing! Lots of sunshine & warmth was to be had.
Setting off from Preston we headed northwards for Lancaster, travelling along a stunning country lane by the canal/river. Fields full of growing calves, lambs & buttercups. Somewhere around Caton we stopped for a brew in a biker cafe. Here I noted everyone on two wheels wears strange clothing - bikers in their leathers, cyclists in their lycra.
Another few miles onwards we finally reached our destination - Ingleton. A village of outdoor activities, caving, climbing, hiking, waterfalls, somewhere I would very much like to spend some time & explore. Here we replenished our energy reserves with what could easily be a loaf of bread, several tins of beans, & a shops worth of cakes consumed between us all.
Then for the journey back - hills, hills & more hills, up over Quernmore. For some strange reason I think I may be starting to enjoy hills...at least, I'm getting better, or I was having a good legs day...Scorton, we stopped for ice cream, oh it was good! The best £1.50 spent in a long while, delicious, creamy, MASSIVE ice creams. Then it was home time. Tired, weary head & legs, but happy & content.
