Meet at car park next to the Anderton Arms, Longsands Lane, Fulwood (Sat Nav: PR2 9PS) ready for the
usual start time of 10.30am.
We set off from the car park exiting on to Longsands Lane and make our way to Sandybrook Woods. Entering the Woods we walk down the steps to the brook, where we follow the path to Fulwood Row and on to Gamull Lane. Here we pick up the Old Train Track and after a short walk, we are on the Guild Wheel heading towards the Crematorium. Passing the Crematorium we then continue on the Guild wheel for a short distance before taking a right hand path (muddy when recce’d) which will lead us to Grange Park. Lunch is in the Park. We now walk through Grange Park, to Longridge Road and then on to Brookfield Park. We now have steps to climb to get up to the housing estate. Walking along two streets gets us to Watling Street Road. Crossing the road we again enter Sandybrook Woods following the path down to the brook, crossing the brook to climb the steps leading out of the Woods. Finally crossing a playing field and a road, puts us back at the car park
