This is a great route. Went out this morning and followed it using iTrails. I recorded it also http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/31926984 - One thing I am wondering is part of the route came to a Private Road, just off Old Alder Lane, not sure if anyone can comment. You can see from my recording where I got a bit stuck :) Ah well. Was beautiful weather and a great route! Thanks

Very good easy ride for the most part, coming back from Widnes to St Helens is pretty much all up hill.

Great in dry conditions but certain parts of the ride are on dirt which could get muddy in wet weather.
