liverpool wigan circular

***UPDATE****** will be stopping for some riders at the service station on the East lancs just before the rainford bypass from around 10:30am if anyone wants to meet up there instead. ************* straight down East Lancs, turn off at Rainford bypass (take a left) then directly to the right for Crank road. Now on country road. Keep moving forward, up the steepish hill outside farefield hospital and straight on. At the T-junction (nursery opposite, take a right and follow the road. Next junction take another right. Another nice hill. straight on past speed camera display. The next junction you want to go straight across the duel carriageway and over the motorway bridge. Very nice downward hill for about 2 mile. Keep on past Alexandra park, past church take a left -cycle path. past 2 sets lights and then a right past asda. straight on follow signs to wigan. Note: we wil continue through Wigan and on to Haigh Hall Country Estate where there will be chance for a rest. Depending on everyone's preference, we can then continue through Wigan and to Liverpool via Riverton then Ormskirk etc, or straight back to Liverpool. The 2nd option will make the journey around 55 - 60 miles whilst the other option through Riverton, etc will be pushing us to around 90 miles with some pretty steep and painful hills
