After a great night out at the local curry house we set off for Warrington. The first 2 hours took us through some beautiful country side on a sunny morning. It must have been the North of Englands annual motor bike convention as 100s of hells angels kept speeding past us. Rob was really chuffed when he tried to keep up with one bike, (which he did successfully!) but I told him that was only a 5 year old boy out on his bike with his dad.

We continued our way down the country through Lancaster, Garstang, Preston and Wigan. Finally reaching Warrington just after a big Rugby League derby against Wigan in which Warrington won. Trying to find your accommodation in the middle of town when all the pubs are full with Rugby boys and spilling on to the roads with broken glass everwhere is not easy. We got sent in all directions trying to find the travel lodge until we came across a drunk Man City fan who when asked if he knew where the TL was replied. Yes its just there! He must have had 15 pints but gave us better directions than the three sober people we had asked.

It was Sunday night so we dined in style sitting outside the TL over looking Warrington Law Courts eating Pizza and drinking a couple of Buds. Apart from the first couple of hours it was not the most scenic of journeys today apologies to anyone who is from the North West.
