A North Western Foray
by
Willie Gall
With my brother Stuart having moved to Liverpool (his wife's home city), become a father and changed his job all within a few months, it was about time that I visited him, his wife Cesca and baby Isabelle. Of course I took my bike with me so that I could add a few days cycling in the Forest of Bowland and Yorkshire Dales.
Here's some pictures from the trip for now - I'll try to find time to add some words later!
