Grindley brook staircase and other destinations

Percy is in disgrace bobbing around in her new home Great Haywood marina waiting for a visit from her engine reverse birth partner Paul Redshaw ( Tony was also present when Percy had the lister installed as opposed to removed in a normal birth - what a waste of typing that all was !) So the visit to Grindley brook staircase  on two wheels. For the diary is was a long way round 160 mile mild day of biking. Phone repair at Timpsons Asda somewhere in Newcastle Under Lyme, then some browsing not purchasing motorcycle gloves then bacon at the staircase.




We of course did the staircase when we did the Llangollen in September 2020.... happy memories.



Then it was over to Great Haywood to check Percy and pick some bits up we'd left behind.

One of the benefits of my Himalayan 'Adventure' motorcycle is I can point it up any little lane and explore so instead of the normal route from Uttoxeter to home via Alton or Ellastone ( both lovely villages) I went off piste and found this gem 



 
I took a walk around and marked it up as a future cycle destination when the weather is allowing.
