Day 3 of 5 – West of the country…

A very short commute this morning, from our fab digs, for our booking in Dalton-in-Furness.

Adrian’s 2002 MGF 1.8 was due its cambelt service, so cambelt, water-pump, tensioner and alternator belt all replaced for him today. Originally booked in for replacement of the thermostat he decided against it in the end. A change in the weather was welcome, as on our last few visits it has been absolutely awful, one of the coldest times changing a clutch that we won’t forget! You could actually see a view today from his house.

Great to see Adrian, as always, and have a chat, thanks to him for the brews and biscuits. We added to his ‘unusual objects in a garden’ with the parts taken off. We look forward to seeing him next year when he ventures down to us for underfloor treatment.

We trundled on down to Lancaster, and being too early to check-in to our digs we made a visit to the castle and had a cracking brew there. I had a very long walk this morning, and went in a different direction than on our last trip, along the beach on the Sandscale Nature Reserve, what a stunning place and so peaceful, definitely worth a visit.

We’re now settled in our digs for the night ahead of our next call to Poulton-le-Fylde in the morning. – https://ift.tt/TRLEhlN
