A. Put in at the marina and paddle out onto the Lancaster Canal, turning left towards Lancaster. You will soon pass under a small road bridge and out into open countryside.

B. At just over 0.5 miles pass the pretty village of Borwick, Borwick Hall overlooking the canal. Paddling on, the rolling countryside is delightfully backed by the foothills of the Southern Lake District.

C. As you pass through Capenwray cross a tiny aqueduct over the River Keer, with a lovely view of an impressive railway viaduct.

D. After another 1.5 miles of rolling countryside the navigation passes under the M6 and is diverted down a new channel alongside the motorway and under the spur of Junction 35.

E. Between the M6 and Carnforth you pass several abandoned quarries and a holiday village as you follow the A6. There are several access points through Carnforth and Bolton-le-Sands.

F. Enjoy occasional views across Morecambe Bay until Hest Bank is reached, here the canal departs the road and virtually runs onto sea shore before turning east behind Morecambe Golf Course.

G. Pass beneath the A683 at 9.2 miles, then the A6 0.5 miles further before passing over the magnificent Lune Aqueduct. On the right before the aqueduct there is a footpath down to the river if you would like a closer look.

H. After paddling over the aqueduct get out to your right on the towpath and walk down an access path, by the side of an industrial park, back to your car.
