Photo-Guide or Satnav through the Nature Reserve to Cottam Lane - Walk or 10min Cycle

The 3rd photo, P3, shows this highlight's location, red 2, beside Lancaster Canal bridge 15.

If you see only Tip1 open:

Despite the above "Cycling not permitted at this location", photo P4, taken from this location, shows a cycle path, a Haslam Park/Nature Reserve sign and a blue-bike sign.

Visitors to the park can include the Nature Reserve route in a walk or cycle. Parking at Cottam Lane and Bristow Avenue park entrances. Link:

komoot.com/highlight/4092174

You can use the route through the reserve as a detour from a Komoot tour that passes close to the park - e. g. via the canal towpath. Join the detour at the highlight location. The detour route ends near the Cottam Lane park entrance. Then rejoin your tour. See Tip2.

The P3 map shows part of a tour (blue route) that includes the photo-guide route through the reserve. If needed, satnav is provided along the detour by that tour, link:

See Tips 2 to 4 below.

Route Description - Photo-Guide

View in split-screen (Tip6) or 2 screens to see photos alongside the description of the route through the reserve. Best to view photos in the Komoot app.

From the start, blue-bike sign P4, Highlight2 on P3, follow the gravel path - 20 paces. Fork right (P5) onto the off-grid path, hedge on right. In 30 paces go through gap in hedge (P6). Take care - safer to dismount and you may encounter a walker/cyclist approaching the gap. Follow path NW then W. Cycle times based on continuous cycling.

1 min - W to SW - group of trees straight ahead (P7). Continue straight on, W then S between points 5 and 6, on brown, off-grid path (P8 - top of map is west). If using satnav it may instruct to turn left onto blue, on-grid path - ignore it.

Path turns S - group of trees close (P9).

2.5 min - go south (P10). If using satnav, an instruction to turn right, back on-grid. Turn right (W) near the trees to bank of brook, then S and E around edge of field - brook on right.

3.5 min - path more distinct - maybe muddy (P11).

4.5 min - T-junction (P12). Turn right across bridge. No barrier- take care (P13). Turn right. Path divides (P14) - take right fork.

A feint path goes to hedge on left to Cottam Lane (P15).

6 min - P16 looks back through hedge.

Go right in Cottam Lane if you plan to join the canal at bridge 16.

See Tips 2 to 4 for options.

Haslam Nature Reserve Detour - without satnav

The detour is an option if you are following a tour (see "An Example Tour" below) that passes close to canal bridge 15. An exception is the Haslam Park Preston Marina tour:

komoot.com/tour/610244459

which includes the Nature Reserve detour.

Leave your tour at or near bridge 15, Highlight2 on photo3 (P3) to take the detour. Use the photo-guide for navigation. Don't stop your tour's navigation - your route will be recorded including the detour. You continue to receive voice navigation for the original tour. Ignore it (reduce volume) until you leave the reserve to rejoin your tour. If you stop it then you lose the navigaton that will assist the return to your tour.

An Example Tour that Passes the Nature Reserve Detour Point

Cottam via Lancaster Canal Ribble Link Loop:

komoot.com/tour/1118780163

The above tour illustrates the technique.

Start/End at Haslam Park. Even if the detour is a challenge you are not far from the tour's end. On the return leave the canal at bridge15, near the detour's start, currently red Highlight4 on the tour's map, link below:

komoot.com/tour/1118780163/zoom

Remember - do not stop your tour's navigation. Follow the detour's photo-guide, Tip1.

To exit the reserve to rejoin the above tour back in the park

Either (preferred):

a) Cross bridge (photo P13), turn left between gateposts (P17), then left along the off-grid path to the brook. Before the brook fork right on path SE. Avoid the steep bit ahead via a path on its left. Join Haslam Park's path on the map, P18, halfway between the park entrance, point A and point (a) on map. For the Cottam Lane parking turn right to point A. For Bristow Ave turn left.

Or:

b) Cross bridge (P13). Follow Tip1's photoguide from the 4.5 minute point to the exit through hedge into Cottam Lane (photos 15 and 16). Turn left to the Cottam Lane park entrance (P19).

If not parked at Cottam Lane, continue through the park to your start-end point near Bristow Ave. The satnav should pick up a route to your start. Alternative:

Follow a-b-c (P18). Cross bridge (g), then g-h-e-d

End/Save the navigation.

Visitors to Haslam Park

If just visiting, try a short ride/walk through the reserve. Use the photoguide and/or the satnav in tour:

komoot.com/tour/610244459

For walks, see Tip5 in the park's highlight.

Tip3

Haslam Nature Reserve Detour - with satnav

These notes apply if using satnav on a tour and you wish to switch to another tour, a detour supported by satnav, and then maybe rejoin the original tour.

To switch tours you need both tours in your Komoot profile. You can start/end a tour at any convenient point on the route. At the switch point

a) stop/save the 1st tour, stage1.

b) open/start the detour, stage2.

If the two tours physically meet and you are not joining an off-grid part of the tour then no problem.

In this example the best switch point is not at the point where the two tours meet at canal bridge 15. That's because the detour through the Nature Reserve starts with a short, off-grid section. Ideally you should switch about 300 metres before bridge 15 - then continue cycling. The navigation can then process the route ahead and provide guidance before reaching the off-grid start of the detour. The navigation continues from the stage2 start to the end point, where you stop and save stage2.

The Cottam via Lancaster Canal Ribble Link Loop is a good example of stage1. Then switch to the Haslam Park Preston Marina Loop (stage2, link below) for the satnav through the Reserve.

komoot.com/tour/610244459

Summary:

a) Stop, finish, save the navigation for stage1.

b) Start the Haslam Park tour (the detour) in your Profile, stage2, before its start point at bridge15. Select "Retain off grid" - otherwise the navigation will take a different route. Continue to bridge 15. From there you could walk along the off-grid path (photo P5) to the gap in the hedge (P6) to check that you have switched to and are following the correct blue navigation route on your device's screen. The Nature Reserve route is not typical and so some satnav directions may be difficult to interpret - if so, check the photo-guide.

c) Complete the navigation through the reserve. Stop, finish and save the navigation. The result is 2 completed tours.

d) You can leave a tour to join a route variation (a detour) and then rejoin (switch back to) the original tour (stage3). To switch back (not necessarily to the detour point), locate the original tour in your Profile and start the navigation to rejoin that tour - not essential in the above example because the detour takes you to near your start in Haslam Park.
