Newbie Question

Have had a look around but cannot find a site that lets me know of cycle paths in Lancashire and the
Lake District

Where are they?

TIA

Try www.sustrans.org.uk/ . Have a look at the on-line shop for maps and guides.

If you join CTC don't be tempted by their 'Introductory Membership'. It is a sham, second class
membership missold to the unwary and comes without insurance or access to route information.

Oh, and don't bother raising the issue with CTC 'cos they do not give a sh*t!!

Check out your local 'country parks' -- they often have some reasonable traffic free cycling.
Tell us where you are located and someone here will probably have some suggestions suitable for 6
year olds.

Aah, The Fylde. No hills, quiet back roads, friendly country pubs - great cycling country. I haven't
actually cycled there in about 15 years so my recollections could be nostalgia fuelled nonsense of
course. Tony R.
