Croston - Chester 45 miles
19th September 2013
It has been a really hard day. As the weather forecast was rain in the morning we did all the manoeuvring first. We drove the van to Frodsham. Took the train back to Croston. It still rained but we got on with it. We had lunch in the 'Robin Hood' and after which the rain had stopped. We took a B road to Dangerous Corner, on to Appley Bridge, Orrell then Haydock. On to Burtonwood road, across the M62 towards Sankey Bridges, through the Nature reserve on the Pennines cycle trail, cross over the River Mersey, the Manchester Ship canal, unfortunately on the congested A56 until we reached Frodsham again. After Haydock it was difficult. Signs were missing, and I am convinced a minor B road on the map was also missing as a fact. This does spoil the magic of cycling, especially with horizontal rain. Apart from that nothing very exciting happened. For this reason we are taking a day off and move the van to Shrewsbury, ready to take the train back in the morning. It should be good tomorrow as we will cycle the Mercian Way from Chester to Shrewsbury. Looking forward to it.
