A relatively light day, with just 55 miles, to bring him to 499 miles, which is exactly half way, wow!
The first part from Westhoughton to Preston was pretty uninspiring, and not designed for bikes. Richard commented that it would be a tough call between where Sophie is today...the Taj Mahal, or being in Preston! Once north of Preston though, it started to become more rural and pleasant again. An interesting place along the way was Glasson Dock, formerly a bustling port. A £2 donation from a 70 year old at Glasson Dock who had plans to do the "end to end" one day!
Staying tonight at a nice B & B just off the town centre of Lancaster, another town that Richard was quite taken with.
Tomorrow it will start getting tougher heading in to the Lakes, for 65 miles, with a nice bed, company and a lot of teddy bears beckoning with John and Julie at Wishing Well Cottage.

At last! - I have been sat here for ages clicking the refresh button waiting for this posting to be posted, and now it is here for all of us to see!
So glad all is continuing to go well. Half way - JUST BRILLIANT!!!
See you tomorrow..............
Oh yes, and as you pop your head on the pillow to troll off to sleep, we can tell you that we had a nice pink sunset tonight in North Cumbria (Red sky at night, shepherds delight & all that!)
Besides, it's only when Penny is here that it rains!
See you very very very very soon!

A pedestrian stepped off the kerb into the road without looking and gets knocked down by a passing cyclist:
"You were lucky" said the cyclist "What are you on about! That really hurt!" said the pedestrian "Usually I drive a bus!" (well a VW Touran!) the cyclist replied.
