Location

Woodend Lane, between Warrington and Partington. Looks to be just a few metres away from a track / footpath.

Participants

Yewbarrow (talk)

Plans

yewbarrow is hoping to be there at 4pm BST... Never done this before, so let's see if I can get there.

Expedition

It was a sunny day, so was all ideal for a smooth cycle out here from South Manchester. Somewhere soon after starting, I got a slow puncture in the rear tyre. I pumped it up both in Urmston and Partington. Eventually I (yewbarrow) arrived at about 4.03pm... The location turned out to be directly on the farm track / footpath, so very easy to find, without even incurring nettle stings while heading off the path to the north as I originally expected to have to do. After spending ages fixing the puncture, I headed off to find a few geocaches with the remainder of the afternoon.
