Whilst the CTC routes are picturesque and take in all the best sights, they can be a real pain to navigate so I swapped the CTC route through the Delamete Forest for the A56 which pretty much goes all the way. Today was going to be the first of a two day slog through the industrial heartland of the North West and the day lived up to it pretty well.
The route was easy to follow and the traffic was ok. Quite a lot was on segregate cycle routes! Yippee! The head wind Warrington and Wigan was shocking. Really hope it dies down for tomorrow.
Anyway. Not much to say about today other than hard work. Route is as follows:
A56 to Hoole
Helsby
Frodsham
Sutton Weaver
Preston Brook
Warrington
Winwick
Right along A573
Goldborne
Abram
Wigan
What I would say about today is how friendly everyone is. You simply can't cycle or walk along the road without someone saying hello. It's great. I've had to explain the End to End about 6 times today. Good stuff!
