Went to Poynton as my fella wanted to look for coal and we hadnt been for about 11 years.

Cool about 10 C and sunny spells, also lots of lovely mud and puddles to muddy my bike up and everything else

About 14 odd miles for me as I had to ride 5 miles each way to the main station and back plus about 5 miles or so when we got there.

Nice to go back




The path is the Middlewood Way, which was created when the Great Northern and North Staffordshire Joint Railway was closed down.

A very good idea to use disused railway lines for shared paths allowing people to get out into the countryside away from traffic.

Horse riders, cyclists and pedestrians use them.

The Marina is Poynton Marina and also a friendly little mutt that had been full of it barking at us but then decided we werent dangerous and a fuss was more fun than barking
