Before crossing back over the River Ribble theres just one part of the Lancaster Canal that still needs to be explored. The Glasson Branch is the only part of the canal that has locks, of which there are seven. They are double locks and we were fortunate enough to have a family wait for us when they realised we were following only a lock behind. On arrival in Glasson we had to find the "Port of Lancaster Smokery" that was tucked away in a small industrial estate and bought all sorts of "goodies" to boost provisions. Leaving Glasson we then have a couple of days before our scheduled crossing back over the River Ribble and hope for better weather than we experienced last time. Our journey back to Preston was held up due to a fallen tree which left us stranded in the middle of the cut. A badly calculated jump to the bank resulted in a wet pair of trainers and a lost mobile phone. CRT swiftly sorted out the problem and got us on our way again. Hey, Ho!!
