Harsh Stu but fair and also in keeping. In my defence, I only got one road/note wrong :-)..

What matters is that he (and the rest of us) had a breakfast stout and we continued a Friday's theme of drinking the bar dry.
Plus, think of the (lack of) beer miles.

Changed at Preston, Wigan North Western, Wigan Central, Manchester Victoria and Manchester Piccadilly. I need a lie down.
Was that the plan, or were you just so pished you kept falling asleep and missing your stop?

Cancelled train, and bus replacement service forced a rethink.

It's a bit more complicated than that...
Quick thinking, User482.
It's OK to fall asleep and miss your stop - no need to pretend.

I'm home and clean after a very uneventful journey back. It felt extremely warm in the city and I started over-heating in my waterproof. Rather than stop and take it off, I just rode more slowly 
.
Thanks for a lovely evening and for helping me out whenever I asked. I'd been stressing about the ride since I did the reccy with Martin.
It was lovely to see you all again and to meet Katie and Pete.

I was of course quoting Morecambe's most famous son. Your Garmin definitely wasn't on the 'Any Road' setting, we certainly took the right ones for the most part

I enjoyed doing the first 20 or so miles from Manchester, the weather was certainly a little warmer than when we did the recce ride, I was even warm enough despite wearing my shorts! I jumped off at Affetside as I had to be at work for 7.30am and missed the climb up to Edgworth and the Grane road the best part of the ride, . I know it would have been a bit cooler up there, so I hope you all enjoyed the rest of the ride. Next year I hope to do the full ride.

On this point. The run along the Lune Estuary path from Glasson Dock and finish with views across the bay to the Lake District fells put this at number 2 on my list of FNRttC finishes. So a big 'thank you' @Andrew BrI was of course quoting Morecambe's most famous son. Your Garmin definitely wasn't on the 'Any Road' setting, we certainly took the right ones for the most part

I have ridden to Glasson Dock 4 or 5 times on audax events and my own forum rides but have never tried that path. It sounds good so I will give it a go on my next Glasson Dock ride in Spring, 2016.
