Help connect Little Lever

Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.

Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.

Give a hike and help get a for every one of Little Lever’s Slow Ways.

The Manchester/Salford branch leaves to go underneath the famous Meccano Bridge, and down two staircases of three locks, then over the Prestolee Aqueduct which crosses over the River Irwell far below.

(Route BolFar Two goes over this which is great fun, although that route also uses the aforementioned muddy path.)....

This walk was good fun, the views of the river and scenery were lovely. The route was extremely muddy however so dryer weather would be better. We did get a bit lost as the route is slightly inaccurate as it says the bridge is further down, however, it is right at the start so we had to take a detour as there was no bridge to cross, adding and hour to hour route. There are shops along the way and I would say it is rather safe....
