8½ miles (13.6km) with 250ft (76m) Total Ascent
Meet in the back car park at Bowgreave Rise Care Home, Bowgreave, on the B6430 Garstang Road to the south of Garstang, PR3 1YD (permission given to park there) for the usual start time of 10.30 am.
We initially cross a disused football field to join the Lancaster Canal where we head east before leaving it at the third bridge. We then go north across fields, cross the West Coast railway line and M6 motorway to Parkhead, Keeper's Lane and Higher Lane to reach Long Crossey Wood and Woodacre Great Wood (lunch). We continue into Scorton (pay toilets) and from there head south along the Wyre Way all the way back to the Lancaster Canal on the south side of Garstang. We then follow the towpath south and eastwards back to the start point.
