Starting from Leverhulme Park we head across Bolton to pick up the the Middlebrook Trail and then through the Golf Course turning Southwest to the A6. After crossing the A6 we travel through Borsdane Wood down to Hindley. South of Hindley we ride across Bickershaw Country Park to get onto the Bridgewater Canal at Pennington Marina. The Café stop is at Pennington Hall Park. Its then back onto the canal and across Leigh to get onto the Guided Busway to Tyldesley. The route back to Bolton includes a loop around Cutacre Country Park and the back down the Roe Green Line.

Please also note the earlier start time and bring some bike lights, as although we should be back well before dusk, we could get delayed.

An interesting an varied route including Borsdane Wood, Bickershaw and Cutacre Country Parks

Mostly off road some of which can be very muddy this time of year. There are some busy road sections especially when crossing Bolton

Café stop planned at the Caffeina Café Pennington Hall Park

Parts of the route will be muddy so please bring a bike with off road tyres. Also please bring a helmet, spare inner tube and money for the café stop.
