Description
I really didn’t fancy the 1.4 miles of A54 pavement of KelWin2, and preferred the look of the Whitegate Way cycle track of the Winsford end of KelWin1. I managed to shorten KelWin1 by 1.5 miles by missing out the detour to Sandiway. There are café and toilet facilities at Delamere Forest Visitor Centre (23% through route), Delamere Station (plus trains!) (29%), and at the former Whitegate Station at Marton Green on the cycle track (75%). There’s also a bench as you pass Delamere Golf Club (42%, near the middle in terms of effort). In addition there are some facilities just south west of the crossroads (50%).
This route is 10.9 miles compared with KelWin1 at 12.4 miles and Kelwin2 at 9.8 miles
