Shrewbury to the Northcote Manor, Clitheroe (95 miles)


8th May 2022

As we approach the industrial heartlands of Manchester, Liverpool and Preston, it begins to get more built-up but we enjoy a route on minor roads before arriving at the Northcote Manor.

We have at last reached halfway! Shropshire is the pothole centre of the world 😳. The views have been diverse - ranging from shocking to magnificent - the arduous last long climb was rewarded with spectacular scenery.

Coffee and lunch stops have been a welcome break. Thank God for Neen and Paulo ♥️♥️.

We say a sad goodbye to Andrew and Tors, Dave and Jane… but welcome Steven and Victoria. They have no idea what they are in for! Pete looking like a boy racer on a Cube.

Leaving Fawlty Towers this morning

First welcome coffee stop! 

Warm welcome to Pop meeting us for lunch 💕

One team, one dream. 

Welcome drinks at Northcote, Clitheroe 


Past halfway!

5 th   May 2022 After an amazing breakfast at Gidleigh Park, we set off on our second longest day! Almost 11 hours on our bikes, covering 162km!!  One of the day’s highlights was passing through the Mendip Hills AONB, a limestone landscape of steep hills, undulating plateaus and grasslands exploding with a rainbow palette of wildflowers.  Cheddar Gorge was breathtaking and pretty steep ..! We went from Devon to Somerset we are ticking off the counties!!!  Tonight we welcome Tors & Andrew to our happy peloton! Tomorrow is “only” 89km, we can’t wait!!!! Leaving Gidleigh Park Along the canal in Bridgewater Cycling up Cheddar Gorge Living the dream! Another climb 🙈 One day at a time 👍🏻
