A countryside and canal bimble from Glasson Dock

Hi Everyone
Welcome back to another video. A lovely countryside and canal walk through beautiful Lancashire with my Dad
Parking at the large car park opposite the Glasson Dock basin (£4.50 for 5 hours) we headed east following the line of the old railway line, now a tarmac foot and cycle path.
On reaching The Stork Inn on the main Lancaster road we turned left then pretty much straight right to head over some wonderful fields before reaching the tow path of the Lancaster canal. From hear we headed south along the canal for a mile or so, before shortly after passing Galgate marian we turend west again to follow the Glass branch of the Lancaster canal back to where we started. All in all a lovely easy walk that would be suitable for people of all ages and ability.
A link to the route in OS maps is below if you are ever in the area and fancy doing it.

All the very best
Dave

A great bimble, Dave. It must have been a nice change from slogging up inclines. Canal walks are something special. Thanks for sharing.

[@DAoutdoors]

Hi Chris, it was a lovely change to be honest mate. I really enjoyed it. All the best mate.

[@JUANORQUIO]

WoW! That’s Incredibly Stunning And Breathtaking! Have A Lovely Weekend! 🤩❤️✨

[@DAoutdoors]

Hi there. Thank you for taking time to watch. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. New one dropping tomorrow. Have a great weekend too. 😃🥾⛰

That was great, Dave, who needs mountains!! It amazes me how there are so many paths and rights of way in England through farms and fields. When you met the canal it looked to me that it was a real working canal and I loved the old canal boats. The engineering for the bridges and locks was superb. Greatvwalk, Dave, regards, Ashley

[@DAoutdoors]

@@ashleyjarnold Hi Ashley, yeah tens of thousands of miles. I just like getting out the OS map and trying to plot a route using the green lines, it’s good fun. It’s still is a busy canal for sure, although me and my Dad was only saying it did looked like some of the boats had not turned a propeller in a long time. Haha I’m in construction and if we tried to build canals and bridges like that now it would take 12 months just to get the paperwork signed off! 🤣 All the best mate, and thanks as always for taking time to watch and comment. 😀🥾⛰

[@ashleyjarnold]

@@DAoutdoors We have a lot of boats like that in Lough Erne but there always seems to be room for them all - I prefer dry land !!

[@DAoutdoors]

@@ashleyjarnold The best holiday we went on was spending a week on a cruiser on the Caledonian Canal between Inverness and Fort William. We absolutely loved it.

Hi Dave, We love walking along a canal tow path, there is something so peaceful and quintessentially British countryside about it 😊👌. One of our favourites is the llangollen canal. This looked lovely too, with some really pretty countryside paths too. A fine bimble indeed! Hope you are well and off out again soon. Keep them coming! All the best, Shell and Pete 😊👍

[@DAoutdoors]

Hi Guys, thank you so much as always fro watching. Your support is brilliant. It's a walk I have done a couple of times now. Unfortunately walking in the Lakes is too much for my Dad now, but walks like this are still a breeze for him so it was nice to get out for a few hours, and as you say our countryside in the nice weather, well there is no better place to be! All good and hope to get out one day next week. Have a lovely weekend guys. Dave

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Looked a nice walk and good to see you getting good weather in which to enjoy it too. Thinking back I cannot ever remember doing a canal walk before, maybe something I should try, looked really nice, cheers Alan

[@DAoutdoors]

Evening Alan. My Dad wanted to get out and these type of walks are perfect for him. It’s a walk I’ve done a couple of times and it’s very pleasant indeed. There’s something about walking next to a river or a canal, very soothing. As always thank you for taking time to watch. Hope you have a had a nice weekend. All the best 😃🥾⛰

[@trekkingwithtony]

Love a canal walk Dave. Very peaceful, and never too far from a pub 🍺. Enjoy it out there mate ⛰️ 😊 🥾

I spend a lot of time in this area Dave. It's great for bird photography/watching and wildlife. Great video, and some excellent images.....did you see any Brown Hares? Thanks for sharing cheers Alistair 👍

[@DAoutdoors]

@@WainwrightWalksWiaLocalLad Hi Alistair. It’s a great area isn’t it, and only half an hour from home for me. It’s a walk I’ve done a couple of times and always enjoy it. As you say so much wildlife. We didn’t see any Brown Hares but did see three of the UK’s ‘Big Five’…….sheep, cow and horse! 🤣🤣 Thank you so much for watching mate, it’s very much appreciated. All the best, Dave 😀🥾

[@JamieHarding5]

Brilliant Dave👌 Nice you had your dad with you. Beautiful brigde and a cracking thumbnail for your vid. You must have good memories genes from your dad, he looks fit. I've tried to comment many many times on this but most of mine dissappear now🤦🏻

[@DAoutdoors]

@@JamieHarding5 Hi Jamie, well this one stayed on! 🤣 It’s a lovely walk this, done it a few times now. It’s perfect for Dad. He can’t do the big walks in the lakes now. 🙁 He’s still fit though, he goes to the gym three or four times a week. Thanks for your support as always mate. 😀🥾⛰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

@@DAoutdoors I've tried many times. It seems to work for a few and then stop. Yeah I'm guessed the bigger walks will be a bit much. I watched a bloke take his dad to bothy before for his 80th birthday. It was really nice👍

[@outofayrshire143]

Hi Dave, looked like a lovely walk, bit different from mountain tops but very pleasant, couldn’t help but notice you made a mistake in your comments, surely turn left AFTER the Stork pub should have been turned left INTO the Stork lol. Take care mate, Steven ⛺️🥾🏔️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥰

[@DAoutdoors]

Hi Steven. Haha, brilliant. It was a bit too early in the walk to go for a beer. 🤣 I was with my Dad so that’s why it was a nice steady easy walk. It’s one I’ve done a couple of times and when the weather is like that it’s very pleasant. All the best mate 😃⛰🥾🏕️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
