Ordiefork: The Return

Ordiefork: The Return

Following an enjoyable stay with our friends in Ladybank we continued on to Ordiefork, the home of Sarah’s cousin Clive and his wife Sally. Ordiefork is the name of their home and it has been over two years since our last visit. As soon as we arrived we went for a short walk with Guinness, Clive and Sally’s dog. After the exercise it was time for the food. This took the form of a trip to the local Indian restaurant in…

However Sarah decided that on this occasion it would be good training for our upcoming marathon to go along to the Longford Park Easy ride. Thus our Valentines Day day begun with Sarah and I volunteering at Bramhall Parkrun then completing a 6.5 miles training…

Halls Route

Halls Route

The Halls Route has become a regular event on the Stockport Community Cycling Club calendar. Sadly Sarah hasn’t been feeling too well for the last few days and wasn’t up to tackling this ride. A shame since she has never cycled the Halls Route …yet.    A healthy group (pun intended) of club members met at the bottom of Vernon Park. Leaving the park we set off in the direction of Bredbury and passed the first of Stockport’s halls – Bredbury…
