Leasowe Lighthouse Loop

Today I stretched myself once more.

I decided to increase my distance after not running for a while to get back into it. I had planned a run for a while that I had not managed to pluck up the courage to do until now.

It goes as follows:

Start off the run as per the Water Works Loop but when I got to the BP garage where I normally turn left I went straight on. I continued all the way along over the crossroads with the little Tesco then on into Moreton and to Moreton cross roundabout.

Then I turned left at the roundabout and went all the way along Pasture Road passing Moreton Station and the Cadburys factory on my right.
Then I passed the Tarran Industrial Estate with the Moreton Hills Golf Club on my left before turning left down Lingham Lane towards Leasowe Lighthouse.

Carried on passed the Lighthouse onto the prom where the wind was against me (but not too badly) and then all the way along back onto Bennett's Lane, right into Park road and home.

Gmap route

Details:

Start Time: 19:15
Duration: 45:20 minutes
Distance: 8.78 km
Avg speed: 11.62 kph / 7.22 mph

I took it easy to start with as my main goal was to make it round. I did this which was great and the time is ok. I would have liked better but I will settle for that.

I need to do this route a few times to see where I can improve.
