Saturday19 October 6.5 miles

Hilary, Donna, Tracey and Jane

Good weather!!!

Parked at The Hayhurst

We set off from the Hayhurst Arms where kids were playing football.

From Brick Kiln Lane we crossed the busy road (A533), and went up Jack Lane, then Niddries Lane, to the end of the tarmac and onto the track leading to the river.

We went under the railway bridge with water flowing along the road and it had carved a deep rut, so deep that I wouldn't want to drive that stretch of road. Then we continued and walked down to the river

We decided we didn't want to walk across the fields as we thought it would be too muddy so continued along the river to the Blue Bridge.

At the Vale Royal Locks the locks were being opened to let a boat through.   

As we walked along the river. We passed under the railway viaduct and continued along the riverside path for half a mile to the Blue Bridge. Here we took the path up to the road (A556) walking towards Davenham.
