A few weeks ago, a friend began an announcement in church with the statement, “If you live in Lancaster, there are three things you need to do”. Those three things were to tour the Lancaster Castle, attend the walk-about play in Williamson Park, and climb Clougha Pike. I am very excited to announce that as of Sunday, I have completed all of these items! I visited the castle in March when my grandparents came to visit, but I went to see Jason and the Argonauts a few weeks ago. I had a lot of fun walking through Williamson Park and participating in the play (it was very interactive!).
Part of the set.
We were very excited to help carry the flag as the play progressed through its odyssey.
Clougha Pike was very enjoyable and afforded some very nice views. You can even see the university campus, although it is very small. It was fun to go walking in a place that’s so close to where I live.
The best part is, however, that on top of The Three Things you need to do if you live in Lancaster, I have also completed the special bonus item of going on a cross-bay walk. I had several people tell me that I needed to make sure to do this while I’m here so I took the opportunity to tag along with my friend Carl and some of his friends. We started in Hest Bank and took about four hours to cross to the other side of Morecambe Bay. I had fun, and it was a really enjoyable time, although we definitely got a rain sandwich on sunshine bread. It absolutely poured in the middle of our walk. My raincoat soaked all the way through it was raining so hard!
I am trying my very best to make the most of my time left in England. I have one paper to wrap up as well as reports due into Rotary. I’m really fortunate that I’ve been afforded enough time to see so many places around the district.
I have a lot more photos, with commentary, posted to facebook. If you’d like to see them they are here: walk-about play, Clougha Pike, cross-bay walk.
