Unless there are any objections, I will lead the long run next week.

Can someone advise what/where the cafe is?

Cheers.

Kris.

Here is a link to the planned route for next Sunday.

http://www.gpsies.com/map.do?fileId=vznctqeawthmlqrj

Following the usual path through Goostery and Sutton, this 39 mile loop will take us through Wildboarclough, passing by Kettleshumes before we get to the Coffee Tavern in Pott Shrigley. Just under 3000 ft of climbing to get there.

Route home will be more direct, so expected round trip will be about 65 miles.

Please feed back as to the balance of distance and climbing. I am happy to increase either, or both, as long as you get back to me before Saturday. If there are any climbs in particular you would like to do (bosley minn for example) I am happy to re-route.

Cheers.

Kris.

given that there has been no feedback, I will assume you are disgusted with the sheer ease of the run. therefore, I have changed the route to include Bosley Minn and kettleshulme, which adds 10 miles and 1000ft to the route.

I'll make you earn your beans on toast I tells yer.

Cheers.

Kris.

Final route decided.

the route will be as follows:

Goostery
Congleton
Round the cloud
Bosley Minn (Minn End Lane)
Hanging Gate to Crag Inn
Vicarage Wood
Hooleyhey lane (this ones a beauty!)
Kettleshulme
Pott Shrigley

Route there will be 45 miles on the button, and a touch over 4000ft of climbing.

the way back will be more direct and mostly downhill, heading through Prestbury, down the wizard and then back through Warford, Ollerton and Peover to get back home with 70 miles in the back and just under 5000ft of hills.
