15th September 2021 – 224 miles travelled
It has been 2 years since we last got to go on holiday, in fact for the last 18 months we have hardly left the house except for medical appointments – thank you Covid! But now after the disappointment of last years holiday being cancelled as travel was banned from England we are on our way to Scotland for a couple of weeks.
Our first leg of the journey is from home to overnight at Romney’s Apartments near Kendal, on the way we stopped at Morecambe.
We had a long walk along Morecambe prom, the weather was so warm with clear blue sky, grabbed a sandwich from Aldi and sat on the prom to eat before walking a little further for ice cream.
Just a little further was the Eric Morecambe status so had to get my photograph taken with him.
By this point we were both starting to feel a little bit sunburnt, who thought we would need sunscreen mid September in northern England, it was definitely warmer than forecast. On the way back along the prom to the car park we walked part of the way on the beach.
As we got back to the car we saw a whole pack of starlings getting ready to settle down for the night.
We completed the short rest of our drive to Romney’s for our overnight stay. On arrival I had a very sore toe, on investigation had the hugest blister on one of my toes, all the skin gone on one side, great start to the trip, guess that what happens after 18 months of little walking.
