Preston to Forton 18.1 miles

Today was supposed to be a shorter day but yet again I misjudged the distance. The weather was warm and sunny and by the time I got here I was pretty worn out and had a good size blister on my little toe. My fault really as I should have noticed my sock rubbing and dealt with it earlier. On the positive side I did see a Kingfisher whose brilliant blue body darted along the Lancaster canal.

Lots of narrow boats were heading up and down the canal. Others were moored their owners doing a spot of fishing or just socialising with other owners. Tomorrow is an even longer day so let's hope the blister plasters do the trick.
