Dropped my van off fopr repair at a Garage in Hambleton near Fleetwood. I decided to walk back to Preston along part of the Wyre Way. I won't be doing that section again in a hurry, especially not at this time of year. The path is mostly non existent, not usually a problem but sure signs of little use. Signage is sparse. Started with a riverside section along the marshes. The marshes won when the path dissapeared, found it again for a short time before it completely disappeared. I escaped into a farm field and headed through the farm, appologising to the country lane. A mile or so further on and back on the Way. Paths now not re-established after agricultural work through fields. Over a stile into the jungle, no path at all and battling 8 foot dense grassland before finally emerging with wet shorts and socks covered head to foot in all kinds of seeds, leaves grass and those little round things that stick to everything. Gave up and followed the lane into St Michaels on Wyre. Took too long so a pint of shandy in the Grapes and a taxi to Preston.
Is anyone responsible for maintaining that route, if there is they haven't been doing their job, probably not though as it's not a National Trail.
