At the bottom of each post there is the word "comments". If you click on it you will see comments made by followers, and if you follow the instructions you may also comment and I always welcome that. I have found many people overlook this part of the blog which is often more interesting than the original post!

My blog nick-name is SIR HUGH. I'm not from the aristocracy - my middle name is Hugh which relates to the list of 282 hills in Scotland compiled by Sir Hugh Munro in 1891. I climbed my last one (Sgurr Mor) on 28th June 2009

Lancaster Canal - Newsham to Blackleach

Thursday 21st February 2013

An uneventful section in good weather, slightly less gloopy mud, and a bitterly cold wind.


Start and finish at Hollowforth. Direction clockwise. Motorway at bottom is  M55 Preston/Blackpool


Barton Brook

Moon Bridge Marina with swing bridge which seems to have little reason for existence


Moon Bridge under repair. Traffic had been diverted and the narrow country lane from Cuddy Hill to Hollowforth on our return was chaotically busy with traffic

Woodplumpton Brook

Approaching Marina/café/chandlers at Swillbrook


It all looked a bit quiet here. We walked on leaving the canal at the next bridge a few hundred yards further on

    Phew! I'm glad the previous day's longer walk didn't appear to set your knee back too badly!
    Well done, and here's to another hot bath...
