Corner to Corner, Day 21: Nantwich to Warrington

https://www.cycling4charity.org.uk Anisa and Jon joined us today. Anisa, support driving; Jon, cycling as an honorary Ralph in the jersey. Route needs altering only to include Anderton Boat Lift which is a mile off route and we included though by a scrubby route. Cafe Latex in rear tyre did its work with a thin thorn and attached twig, picked up on the track beside a roundabout. I heard a clicking and fortunately stopped. Whilst I checked the front, Lorraine found and removed it from the rear. Praise be.

It took 2 hours for me to realise this part of our island is flat!

Weaver Railway Viaduct arches on route to Anderton Boat Lift, after realising it was so close. I will include it - by a less rough track - in the revision of today's route. https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1161087?section=official-list-entry
