Cranage – Floods and a Big Pig

Cranage – Floods and a Big Pig

Sunday saw us out cycling with Stockport Community Cycling Club on a ride starting from Wilmslow and heading out towards Cranage. Andy was leading the group and I was the back leader, making sure we didn’t lose anyone!

We took an interesting route out to Cranage, along some lanes which were new to me.

Although there had been some rain recently, I was still suprised to have to cycle through two flooded sections of road!

Flood!

We stopped briefly at Redesmere to look at the birds on the water.

From Cranage we went to the Arts and Crafts centre near Goostrey, where we stopped for lunch.

After lunch we headed off towards Ollerton and Warford on our way back to Wilmslow.

The ride was 30 miles long. Including the ride to Wilmslow and home again afterwards, we covered 47 miles in total. It was a great day out!
