Look out for the close call with the bridge....
Galgate Waterside and Marina is situated on the Lancaster Canal. In a picturesque setting at the edge of the village, it’s in a great location for exploring the north west, or for simply relaxing with a glass of wine on your boat.
Galgate is a well-serviced marina, and the absence of locks on the Lancaster canal itself makes it ideal if you enjoy weekend and holiday cruising. It is convenient for Lancaster, Preston and Blackpool, as well as the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District.
However, there are a couple of locks if you take a detour to Glasson Docks at the Glasson branch, which you see featured at the latter part of the video.

The United Utilities Sewage Treatment Works on the outskirts of Preston treats over 14,000 cubic metres of water a day, but is designed to treat over 53,000 cubic metres.
The waste water is screened with grit and settlement removed, and the treated water discharged into the River Ribble after being disinfected with UV light. All the remaining sludge is taken by tanker to a second facility in Blackburn.

Was pretty happy with this picture I took while in Los Angeles last month.
I was on the M1 in Northern Ireland today and the overhead signs had “Wise Up Slow Down “ on them. I thought it was amusing but couldn’t take a photo as I was on the M1.
The lesser known follow up to Dizzee Rascal's "Fix up, look sharp".
Not the sought after sticky ending they were hoping for
'The River Trader' sailed into Preston Dock to deliver a giant electricity transformer for the National Grid site at Penwortham that will be unloaded in the marina's boatyard and then taken by road for the last leg of its journey. The ship had set off from Portland, UK on the 14th August and arrived a week later on the 21st August.
She last delivered a transformer in July 2021, and prior to that did the same in Septemeber 2016.
The cargo ship has now had a facelift too - sporting a bright red livery and a deep blue hull.
Due to weather delays that have affected heavy lifting operations, it is possible that the ship may not depart Preston before High Water on Saturday 24th August 2024. I'm working that weekend, so won't be there to see it leave!

Holy Trinity C of E Church, Hoghton, Preston.
The day was cold, dull, damp, and so, so windy! But still, let me show you...
This is the Holy Trinity Church is in the village of Hoghton, Lancashire, England. It is an active Anglican parish church in the deanery of Leyland, the archdeaconry of Blackburn, and the diocese of Blackburn. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.
The church is constructed in ashlar stone. The architectural style is mainly Early English. Its plan consists of a five-bay nave, a six-bay south aisle, a two-bay chancel, and west tower. The tower is in three stages, with angle buttresses and a southeast stair turret. It has an arched north doorway, and a three-light west window with Perpendicular tracery. On the north and south sides, at a higher level, is a two-light window with a circular clock face above it. The bell openings have two lights, and are louvred. At the summit of the tower is an embattled parapet. Along the sides of the nave and the south aisle are lancet windows. The aisle also has a priest's door, coupled lancets in the east gable, and triple lancets in the west gable. The chancel has two-light windows on the sides, and a large five-light east window. All the gables contain a quatrefoil window towards the apex, and are surmounted by a stone cross.
The churchyard contains war graves of two British and one Australian soldier of World War I, and a British airman of World War II.

Sat in the Park End with @St James the Less (not pictured) for possibly the last time during the Donnie game, so I took some commemorative snaps
