The closely guarded details of Saturday's mystery tour were gradually revealed.

We started at the Anderton boat lift, a marvel of industrial revolution achievement:

Then on to the Antony Gormley 3km x 1km "sculpture" at the beach at Crosby:

Then we went onto Blackpool for fish and chips, and the fabled Blackpool Illuminations.

All of which had been on my list of things to do for a while, so well done Cris and Andy. A throughly British day out...

(photos to follow, my hotel broadband connection seems to be lacking somewhat in the broad department)
