A nice day so I had a wonder around Wheelton and on the Leeds Liverpool canal. Please note these photo's were taken with my mobile phone so are of a lesser quality than normal

Looking back to the canoeists

 

 
 

Whins Lane - this was the main Chorley to Blackburn road until the 1960's when a landslide meant a new road had to be built

 

 
 
The place where the landslide occurred. This has made Whins Lane and Wheelton much quieter as a by pass was built
 
 
 
Having reached the other side of the landslip, this is nearing Wheelton village
