Ride to Eccleston Delph

The ride will leave Robin Park and follow the River Douglas to the Leeds and Liverpool Canal and climb up some of the locks of the Wigan Flight to Whelley Loop Line which takes us to Hall Lane. From Hall Lane we cycle past the Cherry Gardens to Beech Hill and through to the Standish Mineral Line. From there we will be on quiet country lanes to Eccleston Delph.

The return journey will be on quiet country lanes through to Parbold where we join the canal towpath back to Robin Park.

As usual photos will be taken on the ride and will be put on the Wigan and Leigh Cycling Group Facebook page - please notify the ride leaders if you do not want your photo taken.

A ride to a local Watersports Centre using 3 of the main multi user paths which are the Whelley Loop Line, Beech Hill to Standish path and the Standish Mineral Line.

The ride is a mixture of canal towpath, quiet roads, short stretches of busy roads and tracks and trails. There will be short stops en route and a longer stop for refreshments so please bring drinks and snacks or money to buy them. New riders are more than welcome on our rides and we never leave anyone behind. Helmets must be worn on this ride.
