Overview

From the meet up we stretch our legs before heading up to Carrwood Lane, following it to Lower Hill Top Farm where we drop down to the River Lostock and walk upstream through a 200+ year structure before passing through a more recent stucture. We make our way to Town Lane for some canal towpath walking before making our way back via Lucas Green.
