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.
