After driving to Cockerham, I started the cycle to Halton – a short stage of Route 90, with John agreeing to meet me in the Crock O’Lune car park. The view of the Lakeland panorama was truly breathtaking, as were some of the gradients! Pleasant cycling on quiet roads, apart from the large number of lamberetta riders and cyclists all out for a morning ride. The white topped buildings of The University of Lancaster peeped over the horizon (apparently designed to create an impression of an Italian hill town!) as I cycled into the village of Quernmore and a very long descent! In Caton, I joined a cycle-path to the very beautiful Crock O’Lune picnic area and car park where I found John drinking coffee and reading the Sunday paper! It was a quick change out of my cycling clothes and a short drive to nearby Morecambe where we had lunch and a walk to see the Eric Morecambe statue. A lovely day out with just 12.38 miles cycled.
