| Walk: | Hankinson Bridge, Fence Foot, Halliday’s Farm and Lancaster Canal | ||
| Start Point: | The Sparling , Garstang Road, Barton | Grid Reference: | SD 514 373 |
| Distance: | 5 miles | Ascent: | Very Little |
| Time: | 2.5 hours | ||
| Weather: | Hot, humid, overcast with the odd spot of rain with thunder forecast | ||
| Comments: | This pleasant circular walk was mainly level and used many field paths, farm tracks and a canal towpath. Although thunder was forecast the group escaped with only a smattering of rain drops. The fields contained grazing cattle, new mown hay, maize and solar panels. |
