Route : Barracks La, Hurdsfield, Swanscoe La, Redway Tavern, Ingersley vale, Poachers snicket, Pott Shrigley, unorthodox Lyme Park approach ….but we never quite entered it.q reverse
bowstones . Gritstone trail. drop to pott shrigley via erics’ celebration.
point. then bolly . the vale
Notes :
Leadership vacuum wonderfully evident..leading to slackish (13 mile , 1500ft ascent) ride but still worthy of the MTB moniker. Great to see Mr Dougan out again.

Views were stunning over the Cheshire plain with setting sun and crystal clear air. We had time to soak it up without being lambasted by a “leader”..;-)
Dan was deemed far too un stealth-mode in his attire and in his steed’s livery …to risk a properly- into-Lyme-Park sorte . A tip off of “ranger spotted” from a passing fell runner confirmed the wisdom of our decision. Reverse bowstones had a whole herd of deer staring at us in disbelief. The descent to Pott Shrigley was atmospheric but swampy in parts.
Light Nancy, Dinner Ale & Marovaka awaited us in the Vale.
Mawds & Son turned up too…but no Butty
Much chortling at the fact that Nigel Lawson, at 80, takes the half your age plus seven rule literally
