Beside the canal and the moors: hookups in Adlington

The Leeds and Liverpool Canal runs right through Adlington, and White Bear Marina on it is the largest marina on the whole canal. That's quite a claim for a village of about 6,000 people near the West Pennine Moors.

Adlington became a parish in its own right in 1842 and grew into a township around textiles and coal mining. Both industries had gone by the 1960s, and the population has risen from about 5,300 at the 2001 census to just over 6,000 in 2011.

A village that size is the start of the story here, not all of it. The people you'll meet are spread across the towns around, with Chorley and Horwich each under three miles away, and that wider picture is where the figures below come from.

Horwich and Chorley are both under three miles away

Horwich is 2.5 miles from Adlington and Chorley 2.6, so either is a short hop for a first drink. Wigan is five miles off, Westhoughton just over five and a half and Bolton about seven and a half, with Skelmersdale and Darwen both around eight if you'd like to go further afield.

A first meeting along the canal, in daylight, with the marina to point at, takes the pressure off the small talk. In a village this size you may know someone who knows someone, so it helps that your real name and email stay out of view: other members see a username. Our hookup safety tips run from the first drink to leaving if a date feels wrong.
