Site of the Pendle Witch Trials and many public hangings, and not far from Sunderland Point, one of Britain's weirdest places. Also not very far from the residence of one narfforc. I quite like Lancaster. We've been thinking about somewhere different to live and that could be quite decent. There's always Blackpool too for some seaside tack (and a free packet of salty biscuits from the ferry that got swept onto the beach a week or two ago)!

If you're travelling North towards Glasgow then you'd be on the west coast mainline (probably travelling in one of Richard Branson's red and grey cattle trucks, unfortunately) and I think that goes through Crewe, Manchester, Preston and Lancaster. Does it also go via Carlisle? That's a very nice place to visit.

Manchester is superb for shopping though - and if you stay there then there's loads to do at night.

It is funny, I have taken that train rout many times now, but I cannot remember if it is via Carlisle. Anyways Preston is also a very nice city to walk around in.

EDIT: Sorry I mixed up the cities. . . I was thinking of Chester when I wrote Preston

Well i have put my trip on Hiatus.


I phoned my friend up, asking him to come over this weekend so that we could plan the trip. he tells me that he is meeting with a band he auditioned for and needs to see if he has any gigs this summer.

so unless i can find another friend to go with me, the trip is on hiatus.

he was going to be the downfall of this trip and i knew it too... yet he was only one that agreed at first... sigh...
