Cockerham & Glasson with Chris Metcalfe
8 miles (12.7km) with no appreciable ascent.

Meet at Cockerham Village (Sat Nav: LA2 0EF), ready for the usual start time of 10.30am.

Our walk will take us through farmland to Glasson Dock and along the coast using part of the Lancashire Coastal Way. This will be easy walking using a combination of footpaths, farm tracks and canal towpath. Along the way we will pass Thurnham Hall and Church, Glasson Dock basin and village and the remains of Cockersand Abbey. Toilets in Glasson and possibly at start & finish (depending on Village Hall events). Hope you can join me.


Rake Brook & Roddlesworth Reservoirs with Roy Smith
6 miles (9.7km) with 150ft (46m) Total Ascent

Meet at Brinscall Baths (Sat Nav: PR6 8QU), ready for the usual start time of 10.30am.

Todays walk commences from Brinscall Baths. From the baths we make our way through the nature reserve area of Drinkwaters to the village of Withnell. From here we make our way along country and field tracks to Abbey Village. Our walk now takes us past Rake Brook Reservoir through picturesque woodland, then back along the side of Roddlesworth Reservoir to return to Abbey Village. From the village we make our way back to Brinscall along a disused railway, now a nature reserve.
