5 young ladies - Jen, Lorraine, Rachel, Annabelle and Dagmar were on the quay, shouting 'Biking Biredr as I came up the ramp off the boat. I had tried to get in amongst the leather clad motorcyclists to get some street cred but ended up alone.
What a wonderful way to come back into England. I felt like kissing the ground. Too shy to kiss the girls!
We cycled to the Eric Morecambe statue and to their great credit the girls sand 'Positive Thinking' brilliantly. Thanks Harry for holding the camera so well. Am trying to put the video onto youtube and will tell you when it's uploaded successfully.
Next to a pub! A quick shandy and donuts before getting to Leighton Moss RSPB reserve. Now these girls were not ardent cyclist so for them to have cycled 30 miles there and back was wonderful and shows what characters they all are. To say it was fun would be an understatement. Brilliant!
No time for birding - it was off to the railway station to catch a train to Lancaster for a pint at a pub [you may get the feeling that these people know how to have fun] and then to a restaurant for a meal. Back late but still time to join in with the moth watch going on at the reserve. More on that on the next blog.
In Kendall now on the way to Haweswater.
Will update you on Leighton Moss next time but put it briefly - 63 bird sp. 3 new orchids for my British list, 80 moth sp. red deer, 12 butterfly sp inc high brown and small pearl bordered frits. Superb place with superb people.
All the best everyone. [especially the people at leighton Moss and the children and staff at Kendall College; Jo, Tash, Josh, Zaeed, Sophie, Jude and all]
