The night before the ferry to the Isle of Man, and a chance to finish my most northern Lancashire ticks, leaving just the scary ones near Matthew Lawrenson to do. Onto Morecambe, one of our most ridiculed of resorts. Ridiculed by people who’ve never been, just like Stockport. You can get a room along the… Continue reading BRING ME SUNSHINE

OVER THE MOON IN OVERTON
A night in Morecambe before the ferry sails to the Isle of Man. What a wonderful life, as Eric would say. But then he didn’t have to contend with the WiFi in the Newport Spoons. Morecambe gave me the chance to visit a real outlier, the Ship in Overton. No, I’d never heard of it… Continue reading OVER THE MOON IN OVERTON
A LONGING FOR LANCASTER
I’ve just discovered a cache of photos from our Easter trip to Lancaster. I might make a post of them, particularly if I can find my notes of Mrs RM’s cutting comments on the town. “It’s no Preston, is it ?” sums it up.

There’s not a lot to be said about Bacup apart from noting it has great scenery, and the occasional great bit of tiling. The Crown… Continue reading BACUP
DOWN TO THE WYRE – POSH BLACKPOOL
I always love my trips to Blackpool, particularly when it enjoys what looked suspiciously like sunshine. A great day to appreciate the local culture. Two of my new Guide pubs are as far from this side of Blackpool as it gets. Poulton le Fylde is a small market town that seems able to rely on Blackpool for all its… Continue reading DOWN TO THE WYRE – POSH BLACKPOOL
