The Day of Non Events. Woken up at 6am by lightning and thunder and a little rain at the campsite. Given the forecasts of the previous day, we decided to move the campervan onto hard ground. Best be prepared. We were feeling quite smug about this, when the rain stopped. It didn’t really start again all day.
It rained a bit when I was in Blackburn, but that was about it. By the time I was in Bolton, there was blue sky and it stayed fine all the time.
The route today took me through what could most accurately be described as ‘Industrial Britain’. Down from Clitheroe into Blackburn, through the middle of the town and down then towards Bolton, the Leigh, Wigan and Warrington. Not much to report really. I grew up in places like this. Row upon row of terraced houses, supermarkets, industrial estates etc etc. Once I had climbed out of Blackburn, it was largely either downhill or flat, a welcome relief after yesterday.
Once through Warrington, it was down towards Chester and to the campsite.
Longer day tomorrow, but I’m past halfway now....
and you know what is holding up pretty well.
