Heritage Ride 11

Blackpool
So to Blackpool. South shore has been regenerated quite nicely; still tacky though. The old green and white trams have been replaced by modern bland ones that lack the character. You can now cycle the whole way along the front to Fleetwood, 10 miles or so. It is a great day to do so; sunny but not too busy, a real fresh feel to the day. I pass the three piers, Talbot Square where we once had to wait outside Yates Wine Lodge whilst mother and gran had a drink. Beyond North Pier the lottery-funded regeneration vibe gives way to an altogether older style which I like.
