Leaving the park behind us we head off onto the paths and trails of the surrounding areas of Bolton
and Bury. Soon to arrive at the Manchester, Bolton and Bury canal where will meander along the
towpath and hopefully see the nesting swans.

Using the under-pass in Bury we cycle up to join the Kirklees Trail into Tottington where we will have
our pit stop at The Hub Tea Rooms.

Feeling refreshed, we leave the woodlands views behind us and negotiate a couple of minor roads
and junctions into Radcliffe and back to the Park
