Stay on this, going past Poulton Industrial Estate, until you get to an Esso petrol station at the A585 junction. Turn left onto Mains Lane, A585, and follow this to the next set of traffic lights, where you turn right, off the A585 and onto Shard Road, A588. Follow the A585 across the river and on through Hambleton and Stalmine. After Stalmine the A585 takes two sharp right hand turns and heads through Stakepool, Cockerham and Thurnham and on until you arrive at the A6 roundabout in Lancaster.
