Day 7: Chester to Slaidburn 85miles
This posting is a little late due to the fact there is no coverage in Slaidburn.
Revisited the route last night and saved 17 miles by heading due north from Trafford Park. This did mean I needed to go through very built up areas which is certainly not my preferred type of cycling. To be fair the city and surrounding area seems to be well catered for in terms of cycle lanes which meant the trip was not as bad as I thought it might be. It was a good ride with my first real rain, though the timing was good since it started heavily just as I started to climb and so helped cool me down.
Last night was not good both in terms of sleep and the hostel. The hostiles to date have generally been good but it has to be said Chester needs some TLC. The room would not lock the night light came off the wall and I had to take the bulb out of the room light because we could not switch the light off. The staff are very good its just the building needs work.
