Bank Holiday Monday,so a great day for towpath cycling off-road and away from the madding crowd.I revisited a favourite familiar circuit I have not ridden for a while.The terrain and waterside scenery is very varied like chapters of a book,I love it!Setting off from Galgate,I went westwards down the Glasson Branch of Lancaster Canal to Glasson Dock.Then turning NE along the Lune Estuary Coastal Path(former railway)which goes along the bank of the river to Lancaster Old Quay.Following the Lune through the linear park until the canal aqueduct crosses over the river.Here I carry the bike up hundreds of steps(great cardio exercise!)on to the aqueduct itself).Then southwards through parklands and lovely scenery and passing through the quaint historic stone city of Lancaster.Finally a few scenic miles more returning along the canal to Galgate.Far enough but not too far-just nice!SEE PICTURES:
