West Coast Grand Tour Day 3 - Blackpool

We finally had a lie in after a long and exhausting day.  By the time we got to Blackpool, it was noon.  When we entered Blackpool from the North and rode to the South Promenade car park, we could not believe just how big the water front is.

I was tempted to go into Pleasure Beach to try out my action cam on the roller caster, and only if I knew to buy the ticket the day before, the advance ticket was a lot more reasonably priced.  At the end, we didn't go.

We walked head wind all the way past the Central Pier, and all the way back.


We took a country side detour to start our foodie journey back to Lancaster on the B5272!  We started at Dewlay for some cheese, the Special Reserve Lancaster was quite nice.

Drove past the Wallings, but we didn't stop, they should have had more and bigger signs to catch unsuspecting passerby.

Finally, we got to Glasson Docks to check out the Lancaster Smokehouse, picked up some smoked fish and yet more potted shrimp.  We stopped at the Lock Keepers Rest for a rest.  Apparently it is a biker hot spot.
