On Thursday I enjoyed a lovely walk along the Lancaster canal, it was peaceful, very beautiful and well kept. I can recommend the walk to anyone.

 The walk was a lot longer than we anticipated and at times we appeared to be walking backwards as some signposts indicated distances that went up instead of down! The final distance was about 22 miles and took 7 hours. None the less Lee and Brian my walking companions and myself all made it from just below Natland to South Lancaster. It was a little overcast at the beginning of the day but soon cleared up and the sun shone on us.

Just one word of warning to future walkers, the canal criss crosses the motorway on a number of occasions and once is a dead end if you miss a small sign indicating to turn right over a foot bridge.

Our next walk is Wednesday of this week.
