birchmoor to thornton reservior circular

50 miles of rolling countryside and beautiful English villages. Easiest to do this clockwise as the hills are not as steep that way.

Take care out of Desford on kirkby road / Archers Lane, as this is 0.8 miles of unpaved road but too nice to miss out and take detour.

Plenty of shops on route for snacks and drinks to top up if needed.

Also 2 or 3 busy roads to cross so be extra careful.
