We go straight through the traffic lights and turn left onto Langley lane and climb up, btpassing Inglewhite, to meet Inglewhit road. We turn right here and then first left to continue climbing until Chapel lane appears on the left. Turn into this lane to head through Whitechaplen then go left onto Button street. This road descends nicely and then we turn left onto Fairhurst lane. at the t junction we turn left onto Scotch green lane, then go right on Bourne brow to head to Billsborrow where the climbing ends!, WE cross the A6 and turn right onto St michaels road and head to Myerscough for a well earned break.
