The walk is generally flat and surfaces are good apart from some cobbles; suitable footwear is recommended. Only a few metres are under cover. Toilet facilities are in the Corn Exchange at the start of the walk. The walk crosses the water several times using bridges, including steps and lock gates. Please feel free to bring a drink and/or snack to consume en route. The walk ends on the Navigation opposite Thwaite Mills. We then turn back to the nearest bus stop, but walk members are free to make their own ways back.
