We were going to have a day out in Southport today but as usual the North West weather is not being nice...... It looks like SPECTRE is going to get another viewing instead. -{
Never been to Southport, but I thought Formby was beautiful. Love the dunes.
Formby is lovely. The woods and the dunes make for a great day out. From the beach you can walk to Southport or Crosby (look at Anthony Gormley's another place when you get there) but it is a fair old trek.
I like Formby a lot, wouldn't mind living there. Maybe if my book launch goes really well - ON 2ND APRIL, AT THE WHITBY BOOKSHOP IN WHITBY )
In the light of all the above reports I have cancelled my trip. If I do decide to go it will be heavily revised. Morcambe & perhaps the lake district.
Good luck because there is bugger all in Morecambe -{
The clue was in an earlier post - that it would be a base for travel & sightseeing to other areas. Apart from a look around the town, a guided walk across the bay & of course the visit to see Eric that would be it. We wouldn't spend our holiday sitting in the bus shelters. I am interested in staying in the Midland hotel. Given what has been said here I could revise the plan to include Liverpool (indeed we could perhaps have a night or two there) & visit to Formby. I had always intended to 'do' a bit of the lake district also.
Surprisingly enough I did catch your clue I was merely pointing out there isn't much to do in Morecambe - apologies for that.
I was surprised to find a big black pudding on my plate in a traditional all-Spanish restaurant in Madrid once. It wasn't called black pudding, but it seems that the Spanish like a good hockey-puck of congealed blood as much as we do.
Believe it or not the wife and I are heading to Whitby on Saturday for a walk and probably lunch at the Duke of York, I might just pop in and say hello.

I got the worst sunburn I've ever had in those sandunes !! Painful memories
Anthony Gormley's 'Another Place' is very cool and slightly unnerving.

Poor team but GREAT black puddings -{
I like it grilled on the outside so it goes crisp, but soft on the inside.
Got to agree with that
