Day 50 of the End to End sounds like a glorious day. In fact it was somewhat overcast so we began with a Breakfast Barm at the Boatyard Bus Cafe to give the rain a little more time to clear.
It was my third day of walking on the Leeds to Liverpool Canal (see yesterday for alternative name). Just as I also walked for three days on the Shropshire Union Canal earlier in the walk and the three cathedrals of Truro, Gloucester and Worcester. This is down to the rule of threes. Three little pigs, the bears, three Billy Goats Gruff: when writing make it three. Except of course there was the 13 days on the Severn Way and the various one offs like a boat lift, a wetlands trust, a Boatyard bus cafe and a Red Bambo van. All of which supports the finding that it’s fine to write in threes or not.
The Leeds and Liverpool Canal continued as the green corridor of calm to the Johnson’s Hillock Locks and then veered off towards the Cuerden Valley Park. Another beautiful green route this time busier as there was a community fair in progress. This made the route a bit confused and I came out on the A49 a bit further down the road. Bob had worked it out and was there to meet me. We walked up to the large Sainsbury store together and relaxed in the cafe. 
From Psalm 139
How precious to me are your thoughts God!
How huge the total of them!
Were I to count them, they would out number the grains of sand,
Yet when I wake up, I am still with you.
Lost or not, I am still in your company.
Counting grains of sand or leaves on trees,
You out number me every time.
Awake or asleep you keep me close.
Tonight I am tired and ask
God grant me a quiet night and a peaceful end.
