You better start moving about a bit or they will think you are ripe for the taking 🤭

Over here the cyclists are only interested in vertical distance, drop down the other side and you could have a Sierra to cycle round. 😭👿

Still stuffed after lunch, no menu del dia as its a holiday so special menu. Decided to have snack in the bar instead of cena. Tostada of serrano jamon, queso and aceite de olive and a cafe con leche. Cafe/bar no 11

Two for the price of one today.

14. 2.5.22 Courtyard cafe at Rode Hall, nr Alsager which isn't open that regularly. Cafe uses produce from the kitchen garden and is good, if a little pricey.
15. 2.5.22 Little Moreton Hall, National Trust place near Congleton in the shadow of Mow Cop, which you can feel is daring you to climb it. I avoided that pleasure today. Pleasant little cafe, loads of tables outdoors.

Cafe 16. 5.5.22 Blaze Farm, near Wildboarclough. It's a working farm and you are serenaded by peacocks as you eat. It's never busy, which is surprising as there's a play area for children and a tube to go sliding down (I'll have a go one day). Just a bit away from anywhere I guess.
That's how I felt when I got there.

Some good views (this is across to Wildboarclough).

Oh, the important stuff. Had a cheese and tomato panini, coffee and they have a wide selection of ice creams. I chose chocolate orange and liquorice (well it'd be rude not to). I remember at least ten years ago I went there and was speaking to the owner/ manager and she was studying food technology and had just come back from America. So I asked what the new "cool kids on the block" flavours were going to be and she said "salted caramel" - she's been proved right, it's everywhere now!

Cafe 21 The Old Station Cafe in Masham. Large veggie breakfast which I polished off before getting a photo. About £10 including tea.

Sadly my last contribution to the thread for a while as I took a nasty tumble just short of my lunch cafe and have broken my shoulder, elbow and wrist . My rehab can be cafés within a short walk of my house. Fortunately I'm spoiled for choice in York

@HelenD123 - oh dear, hope you heal quickly.

Helen, I don't think I realised how smashed up you were. I'm so sorry.

Yes, any one of the injuries would have been considered traumatic. I managed three different ones .

Many great routes out of Bollington. Which team is it, I'll look out for them?
