Route Details
MG- Floods 0ption Route, CW With Cafe Options.
The route therefore uses a fair bit of B roads, not so many of my favourite lanes although some, but the ones used don’t normally flood or get to mucky. There are some bits that don’t seem logical, but that is usually because of known flood capability or very muddy from farmers.
This route is clockwise, because Frog lane has some of the worst floods, so can’t risk them in the beginning hence, out through Aldersey.
This route is also favourable to Southerly wind and not advisable in Northerly, due to the long strech from Threapwood all the way up. NWesterly is not so bad as the hedge rows up past Farndon are good and then Platt’s lane is cross tail wind.
Cafe options are Fire station in Malpas at 17 miles or preferably
Lewis’s , Maggies, Cleopatras ( Farndon and Holt - 25 miles
Lucy’s Aldford ( wicked Xmas dinner toasty) 27 miles
A simple short version of this that reduces it to 30 miles and takes out the loop across to Bickerton and down to no mans Heath, is straight through Tilston to Malpas and then pick up the route at the right turn after the fire station cafe.
Known flood spots are:
Frog lane in 2 places, but also there can be a big flood at the top of Tattenhall hill & Hollywell lane floods and gets very mucky. So many reasons for not setting off down Frog lane.
Dog lane is always very wet in many places, with a few small floods hence the B road from Malpas is plotted on this route.
The route up to Holt and beyond is normally ok, apart from the bit that bypasses Farndon, which floods easily hence, the route goes through Farndon and I like to look at the rive anyway.
The lane between Shotlach and Horton also floods, so can’t short cut there.
Aldford bridge, over the Dee has been known to flood in the worst of times, but rare hence, still in this route. The only alternative is Pump lane, which is not a good lane, but not known to flood.
Platt’s lane can flood on the end at Bruera, if so then have to go up to Waverton and down the canal road

About the Calorie Calculator
Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.
When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.
Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
