Just a few of the birds spotted on my walk along the #RiverLune between Lancaster and Glasson Dock.

The end in sight. Looking across the sheep-grazed saltmarsh from Tithebarn Hill in Glasson you can see where the #RiverLune drains into Morecambe Bay. My 7 day walk of over 50 miles, following the river #FromSourceToSea is finally complete.
Much my final day's walk along the #RiverLune #FromSourceToSea was along the dismantled branch railway between Lancaster and Glasson Dock, although a slight detour took me along the top of an embankment separating meadows from saltmarsh.
#Day7
Set off yesterday morning for #Day7 of my walk along the #RiverLune #FromSourceToSea. Lancaster had been a port since Roman times, but the warehouses and other buildings on St. George's Quay were constructed in 1750.
Scarlet Pimpernel (Anagallis arvensis) growing in the paving at the edge of the #RiverLune in #Lancaster. Harrap's describes it as a 'common weed'.

Arriving in Lancaster on #Day6 of my walk along the #RiverLune #FromSourceToSea. This part of the river is tidal and was once a port, although it is no longer possible for ships to sail this far up.
