Cheshire Cycleway Day 4 – Whitchurch to Astbury

11 October 2020 Andy

After enjoying a relaxing evening in Whitchurch, we started with an equally relaxing morning. Cheshire Cycleway Day 4 would take us to Astbury. The route for the day looked fairly straightforward. Thankfully, the good weather was continuing. So having enjoyed a leisurely cuppa at Benjamin’s and watched the world go by, it was time to leave say goodbye to Nicholl and leave Whitchurch. Our route began by climbing back over the hill towards Marbury. Soon we were back on route…

Cheshire Cycleway Day 3 – Chester to Whitchurch

9 October 2020 Andy

After enjoying our time in Chester, Cheshire Cycleway Day 3 would take us to Whitchurch and would be our longest and hilliest day so far. Thankfully, it was another cool but dry and cloudy morning. So, we picked up the Shropshire Union canal again and headed out of the city. We left the canal at Christleton and cycled through the village.

As for me personally, my sore teeth have continued to be sore but as the day wore on the pain has begun to recede a little. So hopefully things are on the mend. Leaving Whitchurch we followed the Tilstock Road. This took…

JOGLE Day 10 – Preston to Whitchurch

22 June 2015 Andy

Potentially JOGLE Day 10 in many ways seemed to offer the least exciting day of the tour. The first half of the day at least would be through the industrial north-west of England. As things would turn out however the day would be remembered for very different reasons! All seemed quiet as we left our B&B in Preston and started the day cycling through Avenham Park and alongside the River Ribble. It was another overcast day, and again for a short while…
