Day 53 of the End to End was a pleasant walk along the Lancaster canal from Garstang to Gallgate. We started early in an attempt to miss the rain that was promised by mid afternoon. The planning paid off and we didn’t get wet.<\/p>\n

\nIt was also very quiet with little boat traffic and few other walkers. There was a very persistent Heron who kept a few steps ahead of me round several bends in the path. The Lancaster canal is beautiful at this time of year. There are picnic tables and benches for snack stops.<\/p>\n

\ufffcThe Glasson branch takes the Canal out to the dock at Glasson and is the only part of the canal to have locks.<\/p>\n

It was quite early when we reached bridge 88, so there was plenty of time for a small side visit. We went to Knott End on Sea in the rain and enjoyed a late lunch at the cafe, which is just by the slipway to the ferry to Fleetwood.<\/p>\n

From Psalm 107
\n
\nThose that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;
\nThey see God’s works and wonders in the deep.<\/i><\/p>\n

The tide rises and falls,
\nCommercial activity waxes and wanes,
\nThe seasons flow one into another,
\nThese rhythms are essential to our lives.
\nThere is so much beyond these basics:
\nFurther reaches of the planet,
\nThe continuing expansion of the cosmos.
\nPraise the Maker for all that is created,
\nWho’s love is broad and who’s embrace keeps us secure.<\/p>\n

God grant us a quiet night and a peaceful end. <\/b><\/p>\n
