Conder Green & Stodday

Conder Green (near Glasson Dock) to Stodday (near nowhere)
6.25 miles.
Six walkers....Danny, Mike H, Mick K, James D, Vic & Anthony

Leaving the public carpark at Conder Green...
The 'Umbrella Man' says it all! 

This unusual letter box must belong to an Italy-loving resident.

Leaving 'The Stork' pub behind...

The 'Tree of the Week'

Vic navigates one of the many stiles on this walk.

A double hazard. A narrow gap and an awkward stile.

'Narrow-boat' of the week. Actually it comes from a 'broad-beam' canal boat.

".......nothing quite like it for cooling the blood"!



At least they are staying dry.

The sign on the gate read,
"Please replace the drum after using the stile"

Contemplating our route


Coffee Time, in a fairly sheltered wood... apart from the drips!

Joining the Lancaster Canal at Galgate and proceeding north.



(I didn't know the canal flowed downhill, Danny."

A chance meeting with a picnic table provided a suitable place for an early lunch. (Notice the brolly is not required.)

Continuing north through what would be lovely scenery if the sun was shining.




Time to leave the canal and proceed to the tiny hamlet of 'Stodday'.

More hazards


Not a pretty sight of this unfortunate lamb.




A rather attractive roadside water feature and, yes, it actually works....recycling the water.


No, this is not the canal....It's the footpath leading to the Lancashire Coastal Path along the River Lune estuary. 

If you can't go round it...go through it.


Arriving back at the carpark...and the brolly isn't needed.

Thanks Danny (and Barbara) for providing the parched-peas at the end of our walk.
