Cafe 26 Miss Daisy's Tearoom at Sutton Park in Sutton on the Forest. Excellent soup and scones. Very much a 'well to do pensioners who lunch' place when we were there today but there's loads of space to park bikes and lots of outside seating. I'll definitely be looking at cycle routes to return by bike once I'm fit. Bonus points for a mouthful of yummy brownie with the coffee.

Cafe 30, Week 24: Ribbles of Holmfirth
I usually go to either Sid's or the Corner Café in Holmfirth but the ladies' section of my club go to Ribbles as it's apparently nicer. So today I tried it. A small cafe downstairs, with a larger upstairs and a garden area.
Very friendly and reasonably priced - coffee and cake (shown this time) for £5.50

I was starting to run out of ideas for cafes so I typed into Trip Adviser cafes in Wiltshire I stopped looking when I got to 200 cafes so I have saved that site to my favourites page. Now not just a 52 cafe challenge.

I was at Avebury this morning, went to the cafe at the Goat Farmer's. It was excellent. Try that one. Give me a shout if you have it planned in and you may have company

Cafe 31, Week 25: Lakeside Clay Shooting & Fishing Lakes, near Melton Mowbray
Stopped here after the CiCLE Classic, mistaking it for a lovely venue we went to last year. OK, but son no. 2's jacket potato was cold on one side. Budget price and I couldn't recommend it.

Cafe 32, week 25: Ponderosa, Horseshoe Pass
We're here to check out the route for the CTT National Hillclimb on 30th of October whilst en route to Ireland (it's up The Old Shoe which is a mile of decent climbing).
Good food, decent coffee, well priced.

Cafe 33. Blackbird Cafe, Chapel Row, Berks.
Popped to the Specialized store in Newbury to test saddles and took my chosen perch for a quick spin to a cafe on a test ride! Absolutely lovely little cafe in a big woodland country park. The scone was good but a bit small, which my waistline is grateful for but my inner pig was sad about! Didn’t get wet despite the grey skies!

Cafe 34! The Wild Carrot at Chavenage
This has been on my list for a long time so when I realised I’d be volunteering at a half-marathon at Westonbirt Arboretum just a few miles away, I knew this was my chance! Had a cracking morning at the race (I love volunteering) and then hopped on my bike for 5 miles to the cafe! It was as nice as I’d hoped, a lovely big courtyard with different seating areas. Packed full of cyclists as well as non-pedalling people! The coffee was good. My sourdough toastie was only okay but the carrot cake was very good! A lovely ancient dog wandered around and a cheeky robin fluttered onto the seat next to me. Had a quick spin afterwards and spotted a yellow jersey in a bike shop in Tetbury. The roads in that part of the country are BEAUTIFUL!

Cafe 17. 28.6.22. Chelford corner shop between Macclesfield and Knutsford. It's a takeaway (and a good deli/ grocer) but they've provided some seating round the back for you to use.
Cafe 18. 1.7.22. Cherry Blossom cafe in the middle of Macclesfield. Nice little place, sorry no pic.
Cafe 19. 8.7.22. Team room in Sutton outside Macclesfield. Inside and loads of seating outside. Tasty menu, it is attached to the post office/ general store. They have a shed which was put up during Covid which sells fruit and veg loose, I often go there. Recently the council have told them to take it down (there have been no complaints, but the council have decided it doesn't fit in). Ridiculous really, just when people should be encouraged to shop locally and buy veg in that way. Mind you the shop has details of who to email for customers, so things may change.
