Monday 22nd June

Burnley to Riley Green

 

Stopped in Blackburn for lunch at Eanam wharf. The pub here was closed down but the rest of the building was still in use as offices. Went to the St. Johns Tavern for a pint of the local Thwaites, ten to the Adelphi which had no beer on. So we went into Morrisons to buy something for lunch back on Jacob.

Stopped for the night on the moorings of the Boatyard Inn but walked up the road to the Royal Oak to eat. Then a mile walk near Hoghton Tower to the Sirloin in Hoghton. This is the village where Sirloin steak gets its name when a king knighted a piece of meat.
