How does the old song go? “Don’t know why, there’s no sun up in the sky, Stormy weather. Well it certainly was on Saturday as Storm Darragh blew into town. I had thought about staying in under my own roof for the day but there’ll be time enough and more for that soon enough.

Okay, so picking up from the Kirkby Lonsdale entry. I landed back into Lancaster in the early evening. It was dark now though the rain had eased quite a bit.

So after a bit of thinking I decided on Grange over Sands as a suitable place to spend a couple of hours. I landed up at Lancaster with an hour to spare for […]
A bit of a photo dump sort of post, I’m on my way down to Cardiff to do some visiting. I’ m enjoying the comfort of the TfW (Transport for Wales) big train, proper coaches etc. It was an early start and so far all has gone to plan.
