ProcrastinationOutlook is a wonderful tool, but not when it keeps reminding you that it is now 96 weeks since you were supposed to finish a report you haven't even started yet.
Just how lazy are you? How long will you put off the essential or the inevitable? What do you fill the time with?
(We're too lazy to write something funny here. You do it.)

You're welcome!(the following is just my opinions:)
The regional paper loves stories that tick it's boxes of "Human Interest", "The NHS Is Inadequate", "Random Stuff", and "Triumph Over Adversity".
Plan it right, and they'll get two articles for the price of one: Something for 'When you set off' and another later on, 'when you pass through'.
Add a photo or two, maybe a quote from one of the salt-of-the-earth Lancashire folk giving you a lift; and viola - instant copy.
In general, if you can include some sort of local connection with as many of the areas you plan to visit (relatives live / work / originate there, old family holidays etc), it might help reporters 'sell' the story to their editors and get it in print.
