After meeting at the Denny Beck carpark near Halton, the three of us headed up Denny Beck Lane and then cross over the A683 and then followed Grimeshaw Lane, then after crossing over the M6, we then followed the bridleway pass the Prison coming out near Lancaster Moor Hospital. We headed out of Lancaster following Newlands Road, then Langthwaite Road before following Little Fell Road towards Lancaster University. We then followed public byway through the hamlet of Barrow Greaves where we crossed the River Conder via stepping stones, we then continue along Kit Brow Lane and then Langshaw Lane into Galgate, where we stop at the Silk Mill Cafe for our morning cafe stop.
