Route<\/strong> : Maze – Tinkers Clough – Higher Lane – Lidgetts – kb – Waulkmill wood – Poachers Snicket – Oakenbank- Kiskhill lane – jumper lane – blaze hill – Church House Inn.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Crew<\/strong>: El Pres , Bern , Dunc, TJ, Butty , Pete\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Conditions<\/strong>: very mild indeed, it didn\u2019t rain, no real wind. Springlike but still in darkness <\/p>\n\n\n\n Nature notes<\/strong> : the reassuring hoots of tawny owl\u2019s audible as we cross the Kerridge Bridleway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Notes<\/strong> : <\/p>\n\n\n\n Glimpses from another enjoyable evening messing about on bikes: <\/p>\n\n\n\n The route from the Maze to Kerridge is becoming a familiar routine <\/p>\n\n\n\n We rode\/ walked \/ rode higher lane . The fated gated section is not supposed to be cycled. The crew observed my request ? to honour this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There was a \u201cmissing phones theme \u201c this week . Charlotte had texted me the news that Chris had left his at the Presidential Palace before I left Gleave Ave. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Butty thought he had left his at home but his checks with Nick ( via TJ) revealed the missing phone wasn\u2019t obvious at home. So he disappeared off with the words \u201ccan\u2019t find it without two factor authentication \u201c . <\/p>\n\n\n\n Leaving us at jumpers lane with his Grappa and some plastic shot glasses. Oh dear . <\/p>\n\n\n\n We had a bench to rest on. It was a pleasant evening to be outside. We lingered. Our original objective had been to climb the closed Macclesfield to Kettleshulme road and then up to Sponds.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n But we were already at almost 8pm \u2026 and lingering here in Rainowlow with in ride refreshment seemed an attractive proposition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When we decided it was time for the pub the descent of blaze hill was considerably colder . <\/p>\n\n\n\n We arrived as the Nancies began to arrive. They had been over at three shires with car assist . I was glad I had booked us a table before hand and sent in our food order . <\/p>\n\n\n\n Good news. We learn from TJ that butty has found the location of his phone. Soon after he appears in the pub . \u2026 & his beef & ale pie was retrieved from the oven . <\/p>\n\n\n\n It is a good bit of customer service here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n He had managed to locate his phone just off the middlewood way , near sugar lane . Some kind soul had placed it on the wall of the bridge over the MWW. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The A of E this week was just me & Pontius from the Nancies . Is this a TNR first ? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Words & pics by Pete Route : Maze – Tinkers Clough – Higher Lane – Lidgetts – kb – Waulkmill wood – Poachers Snicket – Oakenbank- Kiskhill lane – jumper lane – blaze hill – Church House Inn.\u00a0 Crew: El Pres , Bern , Dunc, TJ, Butty , Pete\u00a0 Conditions: very mild indeed, it didn\u2019t […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[50],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5598","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-tnrs-2026"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/android-finder.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5598","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/android-finder.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/android-finder.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/android-finder.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/android-finder.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5598"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/android-finder.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5598\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5599,"href":"http:\/\/android-finder.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5598\/revisions\/5599"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/android-finder.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5598"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/android-finder.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5598"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/android-finder.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5598"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
