Blackpool

Rose early and left Windemere by 8.30 am, much to the dismay of the owner in his dressing gown. Chose the A6 rather than the M6 to Blackpool and we did enjoy some relaxed touring to start the morning. However, a traffic jam south of Lancaster - seemed a lovely city - saw some hasty re-routing onto B roads until we hit the coast.

No trouble getting in to Blackpool or finding the Imperial Hotel on the North Promenade and managed to check in at 10.30 am. View of the industrial sites behind hotel and pathetic bathroom but will suffice for two nights. Mainly here out of curiosity - why is it so popular???? Look forward to the lights tonight but tomorrow we will leave early for a day trip to Liverpool.

Tess was appalled at the seedy, down-at-heel (Tess says sleasy) beach front and we did not find much to keep us there.

Using the business centre at present and will wander for a meal tonight, probably Indian.
What are we missing???
