I came across them last week and have added a little more. I hope to complete it before I go to Wales!<br /><br />Glad you like the blog.MiddleAgeCyclisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03873996681529127207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154504376889087337.post-72339950563234430642011-02-19T22:34:00.996+00:002011-02-19T22:34:00.996+00:00Talking of the Pennine Cycleway Trip, I enjoyed re...Talking of the Pennine Cycleway Trip, I enjoyed reading the two days you documented (I went on the Tissington trail last year and really enjoyed it) - but where's the rest? I would love to read more about your adventures on the Pennine trip and see some more photo's. Love your blog by the way.netaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14222622087277101722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154504376889087337.post-5192174259334783322011-02-17T20:05:50.634+00:002011-02-17T20:05:50.634+00:00MrC

That was great but I want a trip with a different angle this year, something organic and with time to stop and look and listen and feel and taste. Cycle <i>touring</i> rather than cycling as a means to get somewhere. <br /><br />Does that make sense to anyone but me? I suppose it matters not if I am talking absolute tosh but it would be interesting to know if others hanker after something similar.MiddleAgeCyclisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03873996681529127207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154504376889087337.post-78122567873536852302011-02-17T09:44:48.941+00:002011-02-17T09:44:48.941+00:00That sounds like it'll be a great trip.

Have you considered the possibility of setting Chester or somewhere around there as your final destination so that the possibility of riding all the way home is more of an option? I don't know about you, but I'd feel a certain extra sense of achievement knowing I had cycled all the way home from Cardiff. I believe there is a canal route from Runcorn into Manchester...Dr C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10234078254243840589noreply@blogger.com
