This short little trip where we cycle from Stretford to Liverpool, stay overnight, and return the following day is something Sarah and I haven’t done too often. Something a little different. We would be making this cycling trip with our friends Andy and Mike. Indeed, the beginning of the ride was leaving the drive of Mike’s home! Weatherwise, we weren’t sure what was going to happen.

Unfortunately, Sarah wasn’t one of them since she had work commitments. Never mind. Next time. Soon we were making our way through Lymm village. From there we cycled on towards Thelwall. At the far end of the village we took the opportunity to cross over the Manchester Ship Canal. After following a little detour, we joined NCN…

We set off along the country lanes towards Dunham Massey. We turned off School Lane onto Back Lane at St. Mark’s Church Signs of spring we around with their being snowdrops and crocuses starting to bloom. On our way to Lymm, we passed through Warburton. Sometimes we…
