I agree, if you just wanted to travel end-to-end, you might just do it in four days, but yes you need a good day in Lancaster, and you might want to enjoy the facilities at Barton Grange, as well as visit Garstang and perhaps walk up to the locks in the North (just beyond the navigable reach).
When is the best time to go on this canal? Are there nicevillages and pubs on the way?

Galgate first lovely chip shop just under railway bridge, Also take a stroll down lock system your not allowed to take hire boats down, Second lancaster for afternoon, Third HEST bank must see lovely walk to seafront, Can also catch bus to Morecombe or even Kendal for day, Fourth Carnforth very famous for railway scene in Brief encounter, Fifth upto terminus at Tewitfield, If you plan this right you will have enough time to return to Garstang on time, Have a good one, We are back on canal next year. Ps forget heading other way not as scenic.
