Yarrow River Valley - Thur 12 Jun

BOOKING REQUESTED

A leisurely/moderate walk: Following the River Yarrow south to cross Wigan Lane to the south of Saw Mills, when we head west via tracks to the Leeds & Liverpool Canal which we follow north for about 1.5 miles before heading west to cross the A6. The route takes us alongside Duxbury Park Golf Club before a descent to cross the River Yarrow and head south. We leave the river and head west, along tracks to rejoin the river to the south of Big Lodge Water which we circumnavigate back to the cars.  Risk assessment: Two busy major roads to cross. Possible livestock in fields which could be muddy/slippery after wet weather, as well as the canal towpath which may also be used by cyclists.
