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. I needed the bus out to Morecambe and my B&B but as they are quite frequent I thought I’d take a walk around the celebrations for the switching on of the city’s Christmas lights, grab something to eat and a […]
