Preston Again

Leaving Scarborough we decided it may be time to head West over the border to Lancashire again.

We had picked Katy up last February and headed over to see our friends Ceris and Jim who live in Preston and share our first adventures in Katy with them

We picked a route across the A64 and then M62 before heading off through some fascinating landscape and industrial areas talking the words through Hebden Bridge and then to Preston

Last year Ceris had taken some really fun pictures for us on that first night of ownership and it was a good opportunity to share where we had got to in our refurbishment with them over a bottle of wine or 4 (ouch!)

Here she is parked up around the corner where we'd left her that first night she's definitely a lot cleaner and with less flaking paint work she's more acceptable to be in the neighborhood

This time no problems like last time and we were able to come back to Katy in the afternoon (after a nice walk at the Ribble Valley Sculpture Trail (which I'm sad to say has only 2 highlights, the Otter and Sika Deer - below ) and find that she started first time and was ready for off back southwards, and with a good tailwind we were finding she cruised really well down the M6

 Frightened Steel Deer - must have seen a Land Rover (steel dog ?)
