4 Castles Ride [Nantwich]

Mike's planned ride taking in 4 castles situated around the Nantwich area. Most castles are located at the tops of hills so this ride was to be a good leg tester with at least 3 stinging climbs. The planned 43 miler turned into 53 as Mike's map reading skills [?] & lack of sign posts on country lanes meant doing an extra 10 miles. As for the 4 castles [?] we only actually got to see 2, Peckforton Castle [Hotel] at the top of a tree lined climb, Beeston Castle in the distance [didn't actually ride up to this one] Bickerton Castle [we must have missed somewhere doing the extra 10 miles] & Chomondeley Castle was closed.

A good ride non the less in fair but blustery weather.

Mike is now registered for the Cat & Fiddle - Dave, MIke & I will be getting together soon for a few rides in preparation.
