If it’s dry it good, if it’s been raining it’s an awful mud bath and one to avoid!

Low Lane Swing Bridge is a minor waterways place on the Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation (New Junction Canal) between Sykehouse Lift Bridge (Sykehouse village is about a mile to the east.) (3 miles and 5½ furlongs and 1 lock to the northeast) and Bramwith Junction (Junction of Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation main line with New Junction Canal) (6¾ furlongs to the southwest). https://canalplan.uk/place/emmj

The Humberhead Peatlands are a remnant of a large wetland that occupied the floodplain of the Humberhead Levels thousands of years ago. They have been worked for peat throughout recorded history. The impact of this working has been to leave the remaining area with too varied a water table to allow peat formation. It is a fascinating area full of wildlife and of course it is quite boggy!

Bad conditions yesterday, passable just but very muddy

The bridge here across the canal is a swing bridge. When the lights are flashing on the road, the bridge is open and a watercraft is travelling through.

Gets overgrown with brambles and nettles in places but decent bike gets you through

This section of the NCN62 looks like to used to be an old road but is now closed to motorised traffic. The surface is a bit unveven but it's still just about fine for road bikes. There's a gated railway crossing and the gates are super-heavy. It's quite difficult to manage them and a bike if you're riding solo.

Bridleway that runs almost parallel to Bawtry Road. It's a bit lumpy and rutted at the southern end but gets better, and wider, at the nothern end where it joins up with a number of other farm tracks heading east and west. A good alternative to get off the busy Bawtry Road, providing you've got the right kind of bike (mtb, gravel or a tourer with a wide tyre). The southern end can be a bit tricky in Winter, especially when it's muddy.
