Il pleut

Today was the day the heavans opened, and it would appear there is more to come.
We left Chester at 09:00 and headed to Birkenhead to catch the ferry across the Mersey, apparantly this is world heritage site on a par with the Great Wall of China and the Taj Mahal!! And yes the do play the song!
We trudged our way through the Liverpool traffic for what seemed an eternity, with every traffic light turning to red as we approached. Eventually we passed Aintree and the bashed on to Preston, where we met Claire and Dan for lunch, it was then that the heavans opened and it must have been late closing because they stayed open for the rest of the day and well into the evening.
This just turned the day into a slog, made worse by busy A roads. From Preston, to Lancaster where we found the worst toilet in the north east, onto Carnforth before finishing in Sedgwick just south of Kendal. The campsite is a caravan club one and apparantly it is normal to pitch tents on hardcore, so poor Dan will not have a very comfortable night.
Tomorrow we head towards Ecosse, hopefully with less fluid from the sky

Peace

Iain, Alan and Matt
