DAY SIX – Ingleton to Morecambe

We enjoyed the luxury camping experience at Meadow Falls and started the walk back into Ingleton. Liam bought a bacon roll whilst I went to buy chocolate in the Co-op, which had a wooden door and window because of a ram raid incident that took place just a few weeks ago. Due to our not doing a technical coast to coast we completed part of the route by bus, and instead walked for longer around the Morecambe area.

It’s been a lovely week, a lot of very challenging walking and we’re probably now done with these type of coast to coast walks. Next time a more moderate long distance trail walk or a week of hill walking awaits!

The final comment is that we’ve encountered lots of acts of kindness from people over the last week. Liam has recognised that my navigation and strategic planning is simply better than his and I’ve realised that walking 30 miles per day is too far.

Here’s to the next challenge!

We started off our final day walking into the centre of Ingleton, with the main shop being the Co-op. Unfortunately a few weeks ago the shop was ram raided in an attempt to steal the ATM (story at https://www.lancasterguardian.co.uk/news/thieves-flee-scene-after-failed-bid-to-steal-cash-machine-from-ingleton-co-op-1-9079378). The above photo shows the state that it was in when I visited.

What’s a real shame is that the ATM isn’t being replaced, so another community asset has been lost. So many people are working hard for the community in Ingleton, so it must be galling for people to do so much damage. All so pointless….

On the bright side the shop had six fudge bars for £1, so I left pleased.
