The surface is a little forgotten but it's quite a nice ride along the Manchester, Bolton and Bury Canal. Access needs to be improved though.
A slightly wobbly but otherwise usable track between Heywood and Rochdale Road. The views are very nice.
It's a little tricky but it's perfectly possible to cycle along this track to get to Heywood, and it's much more pleasant and scenic than the horrid roads. So why the pointless barrier?
Superb new walking and cycling bridge installed to allow access to the former railway tunnel. One wooden bollard at the entrance, so anyone can get through. Excellent.
I have no idea what the purpose of these shelters is, not even motorbikes use them, and I'm surprised they're still there.

Cycle racks at entrance to Coton Countryside Reserve from Coton footpath / cyclepath. Very poor surface and difficult access through gate (out of sight) or over horse barrier.
The Seven Lochs Trail turns from the A752 into Drumpellier Country Park. The signs here make no mention of the Seven Lochs Trail. There is a dropped kerb here, but it is partly blocked by a mangled railing installed across it.
No safe crossing of the A752 at Commonhead Road, on the Seven Lochs Trail, and not even a dropped kerb! Just a promise of a future bridge across the M73 and A752, if it gets funding.
The footway of the A752 was supposed to be upgraded to be part of NCN route 755 south of Gartcosh, but this has still to happen. However, it is now part of the Seven Lochs Trail and still has obstructions like this boundary sign post.
