Starting from - Behind the Midland Hotel on Morecambe Prom, where the promenade meets the Stone Jetty. Don't park in Aldi or Morrisons Carparks as they are ANPR and may send you fines. A lot of the double yellows on the land side around there are seasonal so you would be fine to park for free BUT CHECK THE SIGNS or park further along towards Heysham and cycle along to meeting point.

Along Route 700 from Morecambe to Levens, and back, looping around Silverdale. Mostly quiet roads with a few busier sections. Mostly undulating with a few short steeper climbs. The hardest climb being on the way back up out of Arnside. The type of climb that makes you want to do it again and again just to beat your time! Great scenery on a clear day across Morecambe Bay. Possibly aiming for a café stop at RSPB Leighton Moss....mainly so that the Arnside climb is out of the way? I'll take advisement on all these....not put a ride on before! But I've cycled this route many times and it's suitable for most people. Any advice on timings gratefully received, but I've cycled back along this route with significant winds against....and it's doable! It may be subject to updates....so watch out? https://www.strava.com/routes/7265337 The bits where it looks like the route goes on the canal, it doesn't. It's roads all the way. My inexperienced mapping, sorry! For a more detailed route guide ....see FC's tomorrow as I cant post it here
