CER- Alison’s To Aqueduct Marina / Milking Parlour

This one is a new variation to the Aquaduct Marina, in a clockwise direction for CER and has had the minor glitches removed.
I have also changed the section around Nantwich, so it now avoids the busy chester road, up to Acton and meanders around the outer edge of Nantwich, via the conventional route, which is much better and it hasn’t added any extra mileage.
This version suits more westerly winds.
This is a flat route and more exposed than my usual rides hence, preferable in lighter winds. There are some cracking scenic lanes in great condition, especially in the first half of this version.
Note what used to be an awful stretch of road down to Nantwich ( Wettenhall lane is now lovely smooth tarmac- at last resurfaced)

It really is a lovely, very scenic route in places, due to the lack of hedge rows etc. The Marina is at 20 miles. However, an option and better from a mileage perspective is the Milking Parlour cafe, on the Wettenhall road, at 23 miles ( just need to turn right at the junction of Wettenhall road and ride for half mile, it’s on the left, in a farm yard basically.
The Marina is a cracker. The cafe is in the near L/h, corner, once you enter the car park, over a few speed bumps )


There are only 2 very short stretches of A road, early on, but they are open and not to bad at all, but can’t be avoided.
