A ride up through Wales, Shropshire and the Wirral to Liverpool, to meet Amanda, Zac and his girlfriend Hannah.
After Liverpool, I set off for an motorcycle exploration of the North West and the Pennines, taking in Southport, Preston, Lytham & Blackpool, Lancaster, Morecambe, Carnforth, Arnside, Silverdale, Grange Over Sands, Ulverston, Barrow, Seascale, St, Bees, Whitehaven, Workington, Silloth, Carlilse, Caldbeck, Mungrisdale, Keswick, Ambleside, Coniston, Windermere, Kendal, Sedbergh, Wensleydale, Masham, Ripon, Harrogate, Bradford, Huddersfield, Holmfirth, Wigtwizzle, Hatersage and Bakewell.
Stopovers were Silverdale for two nights, giving a day to visit the RSPB Leighton Moss Reserve, Keswick for two nights (my Skiddaw trek was abandoned die to heavy rain), Masham and Bakewell.
