| Walk: | Wyre Estuary Country Park, Stanah & Wyre Way | ||
| Start Point: | Thornton Lodge, Skippool | Grid Reference: | SD 354 406 |
| Distance: | 4.8 miles | Ascent: | 50 feet |
| Time: | 2.5 hours | ||
| Weather: | Dry, cold and windy with some sun | ||
| Comments: | Despite the poor weather forecast, 22 walkers left the pub car park to walk firstly along the river then across fields & along lanes to reach the picnic site at the Country Park where we took a break. We returned in sunshine, along the river on the Wyre Way to a very windy car park & good pub lunch. | ||
Low tide at Skippool Creek
Skippool Creek joins the River Wyre
Turn left here for Thornton Hall
Keep to the straight and narrow
Tea break over ---
but unlucky for some at the closed cafe
Wardley's Pool on the opposite side of the River Wyre
On a very windy Wyre Way
Can you hear the high wind whistling through the masts
