3 Half-wits Try a “British Cycle Quest” Ride in Cheshire (We Got So Lost): Banter, Bites, & Blunders

3 Half-wits Try a “British Cycle Quest” Ride in Cheshire (We Got So Lost): Banter, Bites, & Blunders

Join us on our first-ever “British Cycle Quest” from the Cycling UK website!
https://www.cyclinguk.org/british-cycle-quest

We took to the scenic roads of Cheshire with a mission: find our local quest points in one go, and answer the required questions. Spoiler alert: things didn’t always go exactly to plan.

It was a hilarious day of getting utterly lost, plenty of laughs, and general cock-ups. Watch as 80-year-old cycling legend “Sir Kenneth” proves you’re never too old to chase glory, by trying to become the ultimate “gravel king”. Kev battles back from injury with a stunning ride, and Paul desperately tries to keep them both on the straight and narrow.

We rode through some stunning locations including Styal, Knutsford, Great Budworth, and Sandbach.

That’s That’s a mystery in itself, isn’t it? Yeah. Ken can count. Yeah. I think I’ve just got a wasp in me helmet now. Have you got a rain jacket? I have. But all right then. Oh, I’ve just got a lovely waft. Lovely smell of the chippy. We’re hanging a left here somewhere. Left. Is it here? Yeah. Oh, next left I think. There. That thing there. Yeah, that’s it. Not that. That was nice, isn’t it? What a lovely old place. Yeah. Speaking of leaks, he’s here. We’re lost in Marley Country Park. You do your stuff in the bushes, mate. My bum’s absolutely soaking. Where are we here, Ken? House. You’re the one who brought us here. You think I’m bad at directions? This is what happens when Sir Kenneth’s in charge. Welcome to the lost club, Kev. Come out with us again. You’ll get used to it. Monty Python thing. Ministry of Silly Walks. Gravel King Kenneth. Flippy. Got the tires on for that. Good morning everyone. So we we’re back on We’ve got another guest on the channel, Kev. This is Yeah. Good day. Good day. This is Ken’s nephew. He’s the professional cyclist. So yeah. So, um, so where are we going today? Do you know? I haven’t a clue. Right. Okay. So, it’s a We don’t know, do we? It’s a secret, right? So, it’s a secret. So, you never know where you’re going. No. So, what we got like that, haven’t you? We’ve got a bit of a surprise. More fun getting lost than it is knowing where you’re going. So, a bit of a surprise. I was messing about on the internet like you do and I found Cycling UK’s website and there’s a thing called um Cycle Quest. Have you ever heard of that? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I’ve I’ve heard of it, I think. Yeah. Do you know what it is? No, I’ve heard of it. Right. Okay. So, Cycle Quest. So, you like Arax in UT, don’t you? They both like Araxes. So, it’s like it’s a little bit like that. Basically, around the country there’s about 400 different points uh places of interest that in all over all over Britain that you can get to and you you just visit them. It’s like a question you’ve got to answer when you get there. Um so, what I’ve done, I’ve just picked out four local ones around here. Um we’ll do them this afternoon. We’ll do the other 395 later on tomorrow or something like that. So So we’ve got about four to do. We’ll get them knocked off and we’ve got like Style um where we going Nutsford. Yeah. Um Great Budworth. Oh yeah. And then um to Sambach. So we’ve got like a loop. We got a loop. So we’ll do that loop. We’ll try and do it. See how we get on. But it’s going to be supposed to be pouring down later on, I think, in it. So we might have some showers. Have you got a rain jacket? I have. But all right, then. So So that’s the idea. So, um, let’s go questing. So, yeah, we were just looking for something different to do. So, um, stumbled across this, uh, cycle questing. Thought we’d give it a go and, uh, yeah, it looks quite interesting if you’re into hardaxing and that kind of stuff. Just something a little bit different. No time scales. You don’t have to do it in any particular time. Just have a ride out. See how many you can tick off in a day. And we’re aiming for four today. We’ll see what happens. So, we’re just coming through Heel Green here near Manchester Airport. There you go. On queue. There’s an easy jet just flown over our head. So, yeah, we’ll get off these uh busy roads in the next kind of 5 10 minutes and then we’ll get more onto the country lanes style village. So, we’re not far from the first uh questing point now. I think I think it’s on one of the little uh side roads on the right where we’ve got our first kind of little checkpoint. So once we’ve found that, we’ll bring you back and find out what the question is cuz I can’t remember off the top of my head, but I’ll uh we’ll get the phone out and find out what the question is. Quarry Bank Mill, we’re on Holtz Lane. So I think there’s a question about these cottages here on the right. So just stop here. So on Holtz Lane. Yeah. Uh, how many front doors are there in the row of terrace houses? Seven. Seven, is it? So, this is the row, is it? So, I’ll go with you, Ken. One, two, three. You can count. Four, five, six, seven. I know that that’s that’s a mystery in itself, is it? Yeah, Ken can count. Yeah. So, we’ve learned something today, Kenneth. Yeah. Well done, sir. Kenneth, you got it right. So, we’ve we’ve done that one then. Number seven. Lucky number seven. Right. So, all three of us have just broke our uh cycle quest in virginity there in style. So that’s one down, three to go. We’re trying to do four points today. Try and get them ticked off. And then we’ve only got about another 3909 98 or something left around the country to do. Uh but they’ll have to wait for another day. That’ll be another video or two. And we’ve actually we’ve just learned that Sir Kenneth can count. So uh that’s something we’ve we’ve learned because we never we were never aware of that cuz he didn’t never seem clever enough. Did you Ken? I’m only joking, mate. Whoa. Whoa. 12% downhill this. So, uh it’s a bit wet and slippery today, so I’m on the brakes here. Be careful. Be careful. So, we’re just on the edge of Wilms, though. We’ll just uh hang anger right into here. And hopefully we can get over the uh get over the river Bin here, I think. Not sure how you get over it, but it’s somewhere in here. Oh, there you go. The bridge there. There you go. Let’s just show the river. Oh, very nice. There’s the river. The bridge. Yeah, the bridge there. So, we just jump over that bridge there. Yeah, over the bridge here, mate. Over here, Sir Kiff. And I think we just keep going. Nice, isn’t it? Yeah. So, we’ll work our way back through uh the cars. C AR RS I think it’s called around here. Very nice. Just uh the leaves are just starting to fall. I think it’s that time of year in it. Um and it looks like we got a bit of a climb out of here on the leaves uphill wet leaves climbing. Great combination. Miss you around here. So you’re just saying Kev there you were brought up around here. You spent some time around here. Yeah. Yeah. My teens around here. Your teens? That’s going back a bit in it, mate. At least 10 years. Yeah. Going back at least 10 years. Yeah. Yeah. What was that? We just gone past that. A cricket club or something? Yeah. The World Cricket Club, right? You been to a few uh dudes in there, have you? I have. I thought I saw your name on your picture on the door. Bad. This man is bad. The guy that drunk the most beer. Yeah, that’ll be right. Well, you don’t look like you drunk too much at the minute, mate. You’re looking nice and nice and spelt. Nice and trim there on your bike. But on you. There we go. Uncle and nephew. Cycling officionadardos. I can’t even say it. Yeah, these two have been cyclists all their life. It’s cycling family. I’m just the uh I’m the late comer. I’m the tagger. But yeah, we’re on the lanes now. We’re through the busy bits for a while. So, we’ll just uh try and enjoy the ride. And it’s not started raining yet, which is always a plus. I think we’re just scooting on the outskirts of Mobly here. So, very posh around here. A lot of the footballers and all that kind of stuff. Footballers mansion area around here. Obviously, that’s where Sir Kenneth lives. Just keeps it a secret. Oh, no. It’s started raining. Just feeling a few blobs now. I’m hoping cuz it’s quite windy, it’s going to pass over fairly quick. So, yeah, I don’t fancy getting a rain jacket out. But if it gets too bad, we’re going to have to, aren’t we? Please, please pass. Oh, I’ve just got a lovely waft. Lovely smell of the chippy. Oh, lovely smell of the chippy. I fancy that. It’s only morning, but I think I’m going to have that for me tea. I’ve decided fish and chip Friday. Fish Friday. Why not? Oh, store that one in the in the memory bank for later on. Oh, yeah. Notford. So, we’re just coming into the outskirts of Nford. I think our uh second questing point is in the center of Nford. So, we’ll have a look in a bit once we get there. Oh, bloody hell. There’s an earlier. Thanks for that. Get two hands on the bars and get up the hill. Here come the two pros. I’ve got other words to describe them, but I’ll use pros. Kevin, Ken, the two K’s. The K brothers. Middle walkway. Middle walkway. Looks like we go down under a Is it a train track? Is it a canal? I don’t know. This is very nice. Yeah, it’s lovely, isn’t it? Here. Yeah. We’ve walked into Taton Park that way, I think. Up there. Yeah, we’re hanging a left here somewhere. Left, is it here? Yeah. Oh, next left, I think. He’s trying to work out on this map. But yeah, I’m just giving a ke the run around here, aren’t I, mate? We’ve just been shouted off off the uh an old lady, one of the locals, cuz we’re on the bike doing about quarter of a mile an hour down a bit which has cycle signs on it. But anyway, hello to us. Yeah, I know. Yeah, never mind. So, right, we’ll uh get out of here and then I think it’s down this road. You got it, mate? Yeah. So, it’s down here. And then I think we’re getting towards the uh second questing point. I said I’d get lost, didn’t I? And I have done. Yeah. I just can’t read a map today. I don’t know what’s going on. I think the old lady shouting at me has thrown me a little bit cuz we’re riding on a path that had a bike sign on it. But anyway, never mind. I’ll stop going on about that. I think we’re virtually here now. We’re in the center of Nutsford. I think this is Yeah, it’s a oneway street there. So, we’ve got to turn right here and then that where Kev is there in front of us. There’s a big tower on the left there. That big gray tower in front of us just where that car is. I think that’s the second uh questing point. So, we’ll we’ll pull over and then we’ll get the camera out. Right. I don’t think this is going to come across on the camera, but it basically we’re in the middle of Nutford and it says the memorial tower to Mrs. Gascal in King Street, which is there. That thing there. Yeah, that’s it. Not that that uh it says that. It says um what does the plaque near the base of the tower commemorate? So, go on. Can you go and do the business, so to speak? Vision of the Mrs. Gascal’s Can you read that from there, Kev? Birth. Yeah. 19 anniversary September 96. You got better eyes than me, mate. I can’t read that. This tower was erected in memory of Mrs. Gas. That’s it. What does it What does it commemorate then? Yeah. We’ll go and have a look. Birth. Her birth. Yeah. Commemorates her birth. Right. Okay. In a tower. She was She was born in there, was she? Yeah. Yeah. Right. Yeah. That’s a That’s a strange place to be born, isn’t it? But we’re going back a bit, aren’t we? So, all right. Okay. Go read it. It probably say something. Yeah. I’ll go I’ll go and get on camera to prove we’ve been. Here’s Kev leading us through the main street in Nutsford. It’s lovely here. Very nice oneway system, so the traffic’s nice and slow, nice and quiet. And we’ve got to two down, two to go. So, our next stop is in uh Great Budworth, which again is in Cheshire. They’re all in Cheshire today. So, uh yeah, two down, two to go. Let’s keep going. Thank you very much, Nutsford. Apart from the old lady who was shouting at me, but we didn’t get that on camera. Oh, I’m on puncher watch. Puncher watch here. The farmer’s been cutting the edge, so all the thorns and stuff are in the road. Please don’t pop. I’ve got tubeless tires on, so this should should sort itself out if it gets a little nick. But you just can do without it, can’t you? Looks like we’ve passed it. Okay, so we just had a closed road. Just had a closed road. So we’ve uh had to take a little diversion around the lanes on our way to Great Budworth. But I’ve just been riding with a with another lad there who’s local around here. So, he’s put us on the right track. So, uh I’ll just catch up with the 2Ks and then we’ll uh continue with the journey. So, we’re just uh coming into Great Budworth in Cheshire and this is a questing point as I’m going to call them. Quest point, questing point number three. So, when we get to the center of the village, there’s going to be some sort of question along the lines of the others. I don’t think it’s going to be rocket science, but we weren’t the best, were we? Between us uh where are we here? This looks like the village, doesn’t it? Oh, this is lovely, isn’t it? Looks nice, isn’t it? Oh, lovely, isn’t it? Yeah. Wow. Oh, yeah. Very nice. I’ve got some kind of question here. I’ll uh I’ll pull over when we get to the church. Oh, yeah. There’s the stocks. Yeah. Let’s get Ken in there. Yeah. You’re getting there, Ken. Uh so, right. So, we’re here. We’re in Great Budwiff. Let’s see what the question is. Um, so the question is in the village center is a public house. Oh, what’s its name? That’s it. Is it? What’s it called? Dragon. The Georg The Georgian Dragon. Right. So, there’s the answer then. The Georgian Dragon. That was a difficult one, was it? So, have you got that one, Kenneth? Yeah. Right. I tell you what, Ken, we’ve been through here loads of times. First time I’ve been through the village. We have a a main road to cross down here, don’t we? Yeah. Yeah. Right. So, there you go. Uh, number three down. Three. Three down, one to go. Splendid. Beautiful little village that Great Budworth. I’ve I’ve ridden near it before, but never been through it. It’s absolutely stunning. Yeah, beautiful. And we got a 10% hill going down here now. This will be interesting. It’s just starting raining, so I’ll try and keep wiping the lens. Yeah. So, we’re three down, one to go. We’re on our way towards Sandbach. Look at that for a view. Oh, absolutely beautiful. Looks like a nice yacht down there as well. Yeah, very nice. It’s worth coming up with the hill for that, won’t it, Kev? Wonder what they are. What do you think they are? I don’t know. It’s not sweet corn, is it? Looks like leaks or something, don’t it? But they look too big, don’t they? Yeah. Speaking of leaks, is you? We We found a field full of leaks for you. Yeah. Fantastic. Where you going? I think I’ve just got a wasp in me helmet. Get out. Bloody thing. Can feel it wiggling about. Oh, I’m going to have to stop and get that out. Hold on. Got the wasp out the head. It’s left here towards Marberry Country Park. Never been here before. So the uh the questing’s taking us to new places. Cycle questing. It’s the future. I think we’re uh we’re lost in Marbury Country Park here cuz we’re supposed to go down a road and it says no entry. That’s the second time we’ve been lost today. It wouldn’t it wouldn’t be a ride with me and me and Ken and uh Kev. We’ve dragged Kev into it now. Getting us lost all the time. We get lost on every every ride, don’t we? Um, we kind of want to be on that road over there to the right. What? Not according to this. It isn’t. No, but I don’t know where we’re supposed to be going. We can’t get on the road. We want to get on. That’s all you’re interested in, is it? Ken, toilets. Yeah. So, we’re lost in Marbury Country Park. If we ever get out of here, I think it’s going to be like Blair Witch this. If we ever get out of here, you might hear from us again. And if we don’t, then you won’t. Yeah. So, we just done just over 21 mile. Nice, easy going today. Um, we’re in Marbury Country Park, Marberry Arboritum. Um, Ken’s just gone to the toilet again. Um, I’m losing count of the number of times he goes to the toilet. But you know that if you’ve watched these videos before and we kind of we need to get over kind of over that way over there behind them trees behind the other side of the car park. But we’re struggling to do it because the road says no entry. But I think we’re going to have to push the bikes down or whatever. Walk through. I don’t know. Um I think it I’m hoping it means no entry for cars and vehicles. But we’ll um can’t see any other way through otherwise we’re uh we’re lost again and we’ll be rerouting again. Um but uh yeah, these things are these things are meant to try us, aren’t they? Um yeah, it’s lovely. It’s a nice day. Nice and warm. Perfect temperature. Not too windy. And there’s just a tiny bit of moisture in the air. Just odd little drops of rain so far. But apart from that, it’s um it’s very nice. Yeah, autumn’s on the way in it. Flipping heck. That’s not good, is it? It looks beautiful, doesn’t it, when it’s autumn? But it’s uh it’s my favorite time of year. It does look nice. Yeah. And the colors change, but that means the shorter nights and the colder weather, doesn’t it? That’s the bit I don’t like. All the uh Christmas decorations in the shop. They’re probably there now in August, mate. Yeah. So, it looks like we’ve found our way out of Marbury Country Park at last. Um very nice there actually, but we uh kind of got trapped in there a little bit. And I might be being a bit dramatic there. Paul didn’t really get trapped, but we couldn’t find our way out of it. So, we had to go down a road which said no vehicles, but we got down there and it was a time that road all our way down and we got to this. So, I think we’re back on track. So, we’re just kind of coming through North, which now it’s just trying to rain. Don’t dampen our spirits. Yeah, it’s busy busy around here. Uh we Yes. turning left in a bit. But yeah, we’re going to be in this queue for a while by the looks of it. Can I borrow your broly? Probably. Oh god. Oh yeah. Oh, I think we’ll just wait here a minute. Should we wait here a minute? Yeah, we’ll just wait under one of these uh arches. What? Yeah. Let’s give it a minute. Well trained dog. Yeah. In the bush. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You do your stuff in the bushes, mate. Look at this. And the river weaver. Lovely. Apart from the rain. Beautiful. The path right down the side of the river. A bit bumpy. You can’t get any speed up obviously, but uh very nice. Just passing you there. Thank you. Cheers. Coming through Daven. We done a 26 milesi now. Keeps trying to rain. We had to shelter a little bit earlier on, but it’s not too bad. Just little uh little spots now and then quite a heavy shower, but we sheltered under a bridge, so that wasn’t bad. Well, it’s just raining slightly at the moment, but we can live with that. Um hopefully next kind of half hour or so, we’ll be getting towards Sandbach and we can do uh quest point number four and get something to eat. Now, this is where I wish you mug guards on. I’m getting a right good sprinkling here. Oh, it’s all over me. Roads are wet. Not raining too bad at the moment, but the roads are wet. There’s coppers everywhere around here. That’s a Welsh one. Police running about everywhere on Blues and Twos. Oh, something going on around Daven. Probably looking for us. But yeah, I’m getting a bit of a soaking in here, but it’s my own fault for not putting my mud guards on. idiot. Hardcore. I refuse to put the rain top on. Still got me my sh cycling shirt on. I refuse to do it. Even if I’m drenched to the bone, I refuse to do it. Let’s see if that attitude lasts. So, we’re on this bit of a gravel tracky thing here, aren’t we, Kev? We’re all right, aren’t we, mate? We’re fine. We’re gravel bikes, gravel tire. Well, all road tires kind of thing. And uh old Kenneth at the back there, the weing machine. He’s uh he’s on his road bike on his winter bike as he calls it with with his mug guards on. But he’s on about we number three four. I was just saying you know I thought he was old age but he’s been doing this for 30 odd years. That’s inside information as well cuz you know him better than anyone don’t you? So so he’s been a wee machine all his life has he? He has. Yeah. Yeah. Could have been in the Guinness Book of Records, couldn’t he? In fact around Cheshure there’s special places where he knows stuff. He has he has his own wei stops does he? Ken has his own wei stops. It’s now official. You can see the grass is lush and god. This is looking a bit shaky down here, isn’t it? I think basically it’s it’s an old tarmac. It look might be an old train track or something. This looks like an old tarmac path that’s just weeded over and full of leaves and everything and mud and actually a bit slippy on these tires. So, we have to be careful here. Cheers, mate. Thank you. Oh yeah, I think we’re back on the uh back on Terrairma here. But it looks like I brought us to what is basically a motorway. Oh god. I think I’m going to have to change my name to Mr. Soggy Bottom. Flipping heck. My bum’s absolutely soaking. It’s my own fault. Prepare properly. Check the weather. Put your mug guards on instead of saying, “Oh, leave them in the car. It’ll be all right. Well, obviously it isn’t all right, is it? Yeah. Well, so we’re just on a on a busy main road here. 50 mph road. This is absolutely tragic at the minute. It’s um so busy with traffic. It’s really really dangerous cuz it close passes and all sorts going on. But uh yeah, the sooner we get off here, the better. Um it’s not often you kind of get scared on a bike when you do it quite a lot, but this is not good this road. It’s terrible. just too narrow. And people who are driving, certain drivers haven’t got a clue how to pass a bike. Now look at that one. That’s perfect driving the blue car. They’re brilliant. And the little silver car, brilliant. But some of them absolutely clueless. They’re coming about 2 ft away from you and then squeezing in at the last second. But anyway, that’s my rant over for the day. We’ll keep enjoying the ride. I think we’re just going to nip in a cafe here. We’ve done 32 miles, so we’re just over halfway. I think Ken said there’s a cafe in here or something. So hopefully we can get something to eat. It’s stopped raining. The sun’s come out. And if there’s food about, I’m a happy chappie. All right, then. So we just had our dinner, aren’t we? Um, where are we here, Ken? Um, is it house? You’re the one who brought us here. House shopping village. Pop house shopping village. Right. So, we just had our dinner. So, we’re going to head back towards Sambach. That’s about five, six miles away. Middle between. Is that where it is? Right. Okay. So, we’ll head back over there then. Church or something like that. Church’s up the road. We’ve just been fed, aren’t we? So, we just had our grub. That’s a bit better. But it’s just starting raining since we’ve come out in it. There’s a little bit of sun up there, but I don’t know where it’s going because we’re not getting it, are we? So, yeah. So, we’ve got one to go, aren’t we? Sand batch. And then we’ll have knocked four of the uh four out of 400 off. Right. So, we’ll get going then in the rain. Hey, you can come again, Kev. You brought the sunshine out, mate. Good lad. You’re a lucky charm. Now, we’re lost in a in a state somewhere, aren’t we? Where are we in Sandbach here? My my G my G’s thrown a wobbler. It’s been telling me to do a U-turn for about the last I don’t know 5 miles and now we’re in the middle middle of an estate somewhere. Yeah. I think we should have turned. So yeah, I think we should have turned up there. Yeah. Yeah. You think I’m bad at directions? This is what happens when Sir Kenneth’s in charge. Get round, I think. All right, I’ll follow you then, mate. Lack of organization. What’s that, Kev? You going to complain about complain about lack of organization? Lack of organization. This is poor this isn’t it? Poor. This is poor. I blame I’m blaming Sir Kenneth. It’s not my fault. I mean, he doesn’t know where the This is literally the blind leading the blindness, isn’t it? But he’s given me an air of confidence. Oh, hang on. M’s just just come back to life. We’re going the right way. Oh, ye of little faith. Ken, we’re right. We’re there. We’re back to the promised land to a proper road. I must have done about 25 mile round that turn. We’re turning right here, Ken. Yeah. Down here. Yeah. We must have done about 25 mile rounding estate. Mind you, mine might be trying to take us back to that cafe. I don’t know. I think my my garment threw a wobbly, didn’t it? I It might be trying to take us back to that cafe. Um I don’t know. Let’s uh let’s say go up there. Does it? Right. I’ll follow you cuz yours is different to my Garmin, even though they got the same route. Work that one out, listeners. See, when you trust technology, it all goes wrong. Just go back to the old school way of doing it with uh road signs. Sandbach left. So, let’s just follow the road. Sandbash left and the road is closed. I think we go for it anyway. Are we trying it? Yeah. See if we can walk through. Okay. Right there. Yeah, but the sign says left. Oh, I think we’re averaging about 1 m an hour for the last uh last hour here. So, we’re just coming into the center of sand match now. We eventually found our way. I think what I’ve done like an idiot like a complete tool, I’ve pressed something on my gar and it seems to be wanting to take us back to the cafe where we had something to eat. So, that right head towards the church, Kev said, which is straight in front of us. So, we’re looking for kind of the market square kind of thing and then I’ll try and sort me g out when we get there. Uh we’re just waiting um Ken coming behind us somewhere. So yeah, luckily we’re back on track and luckily it’s follow drying up a bit. Yeah, follow the cycle route, Kev. Good idea. Oh, this looks like a sort of cross or something on the left here, doesn’t it? What’s this? There’s the church in front of us. Oh, there you go. Up here. Look like they’re behind them vans there, don’t they? They look like some kind of crosses or something. It’s nice there, isn’t it? Place his sandbatch. You just drive past it going on the motorway. There you go. That looks like the Saxon crosses there, doesn’t it? Right, we found him then. So, we’ve uh That looks promising, doesn’t it? Yeah. Who looks after him, Kev? Is that it? I think so. Does it say who who looks after him? No. Yeah. What was this one? Precious imagery. Um. Oh, yeah. It doesn’t say who looks after him on that one. That’s uh Yeah, I’m just I’m just reading all the stuff on the signs here and I can’t see anything about who looks after him. Are are these the Saxon crosses, Ken? This is a cross, it says. Yeah. Well, we we need to know he looks after him. That’s the answer to the question. I don’t know. The Ministry of Works. Can we go home now? So, that was it then? The Ministry of Works. That’s it. Yeah. Yeah. What’s that when it’s at old? I have no idea. Yeah. I’m guessing that’s the council or something. Monty Python thing. Yeah. Ministry of Silly Walks. the Ministry of Works. Right. Okay. So, there you go. Quest number four. We’ve done it. Yeah. So, successful. Well done, boys. That That was the worst. You got to get on now. I know. Worst. I think that was the worst deck in my life. It was the worst set of directions ever getting here, was it? It was uh Yeah. Let me try and sort my me out and then we can carry on. It was just over 40 m down now. We’ve got about 20 mi left. 22 miles, something like that. Um it’s gone really nice now. Looks as though the clouds and the rain have hopefully passed. So, we’ve dodged it. I’ve still got me short sleeve top on, not worn me a rain jacket, and I’m determined not to. Uh, well, yeah, we absolutely useless. We are. We’re absolutely useless. Just um with directions and stuff, we get lost anywhere, me, but uh I think I pressed something on me ging and it was basically trying to just kept telling me to make a U-turn back to the cafe where we had something to eat. So, it was completely nickers in a twist. Luckily, Kev knew the way. Kev’s the only one with no directions and he actually got us into Sandbach. Well done, Kev. We’re just chatting there, Kev, won’t we? Just saying saying, you know, you never been on this road before. No. And uh what did you just say to me? We got a right here to this. He’s on the right way. No, he’s not. He’s got us lost again. See some great sites for Cheshure. Lots of housing estates before. Lot great sites for Cheshire. Lots of housing estates that I’ve never seen before. See that on that tree there? That sign in front of us there where Ken’s taken us. It says private road. No free road, no public right away. So he just carries on. Even though the map told him to go up this road here. I bet you’ve never been lost this many times, have you, mate? Watch this. We’ll get up here. It’ll say private road. No entry. But according to this, this is where we go. So, I don’t know where this goes from here. It looks like it. Yeah, I think we go past that past that house and across a across a field. Oh, well, it’s an adventure, mate, if nothing else. through the horse muck through all the cow ps. That’s nice. Yeah, this is a proper mixed bag this ride. But I don’t know if it was in a good way or a bad way. Hey, welcome to the lost club. Welcome to the lost club. Kev, come out with us again. You’ll get used to it. Hey, Ken. Yeah, he was just saying it’s so slow this ride. He was going to have to phone Debbie up and order his supper. We out at breakfast time. Never been down here before then. I’ve got a feeling I have. What does it say that sign? A feeling I have, but I don’t know where it comes out. Is a thorough affair only. Keep off the verge. No pic picnicking. The dogs must be on leads at all times. Oh, you can go through then. This looks very, very posh, doesn’t it? Nearly. Nearly. I don’t fancy staying on this too long. Even though I’ve got gravel wheels on. Yeah, it was great that was it. Bit of gravel there. Look at this. Lovely. Really nice. And here he is. The gravel king. Gravel King Kenneth. Flippy. Got the tires on for that. Look at this. This is a nice spot, isn’t it? Yeah, it is. Is it? Just got to be careful I don’t drop the camera in the river. I’ve got to go for a week. There’s the prize. Well, do you know where we are, Kev? I have no clue. You two are chess. You’re veterans, aren’t you? Everywhere around here. Both of you. I’ve not got a clue where I am. Yeah. How beautiful this is. Could be the middle of Wales or something. This, couldn’t it? Yeah. Fantastic. Some sort of estate in this. Yeah, it’s like a country estate or something. I think they’ll be coming out with the the hounds and the shotguns in a minute to get us out of here. So, we’ve come through that lane, that lovely lane. We’re in Swatenham and Sweat and Arms Pubs just behind the church over there. And we got these two numpties riding towards the camera. Well, these are roads they’ve never ridden on, which is uh which is amazing with the amount of mileage they’ve been around here. Hi. Hi. So Ken said this where we’re going down here, Kev, is called uh Daffodil Valley. This ride’s taking so long. It’ll probably be about daffodil time, springtime by the time we get home. Flippy neck. It’s going on forever. I’m enjoying it though. But it’s going on forever. What were your words? It’s the worst ax ever. Is that going to be the review when I start my review? That’s the review. Is it? That’s my first review. Must try harder. We’re just coming down a steep hill here. It said deep ford ahead as in like a river crossing. A deep river crossing. So, God knows what’s down here. I don’t know. Uh, but I think Kev’s getting used to the chaos of our ride. Oh my god. How are we going to get over here? Oh, it’s a bridge. I thought it was riding through there then. There’s a bridge here. Thank god. Yeah. So, we’re all right. What a lovely spot. But we just come down the valley, so obviously what goes down’s got to come back up on it. So, no doubt there’s going to be a climb out of here. Let’s just have a look at this here. It’s idyllic, isn’t it? That there. Beautiful. So, you’re uh you’re just you’re quite impressed, are you with man and Ken’s teamwork? Like, [Laughter] I think they were probably been better at directions than me and him. But they’re useless, aren’t we? Well, at least we admit it. Just get me home. Just get me home. I think that’s that’s the words of a man who’s really enjoyed himself. [Laughter] Here they come. Tweedle dumb and tweedle day. There’s Jod Bank there on the left. We’re turning right. We’re waiting for Ken and he just leaves us as soon as he gets near us. Never stops. Just carries on. Pig ignorant. Pig ignorant. Is it very ignorant time? I’ve been plenty waiting for him. Look at him. We wait for him, mate. He never waits for us. Crosses the finish line first. We’re going to kick him out of our club. Go on, Ken. Spin them legs up the hill, son. So, 50 miles in. Sun’s out. Been a great day. useless organization and planning and directions and stuff by me aly uh assisted by the useless Kenneth. Uh but we’ll get there. We’re back on roads that we know now. Uh we kind of near uh the peavers or pee over if you’re not from these parts. But yeah, so um it’s been a good day. Kev’s been injured for a long time. Um kind of had a problem with his back and his leg and stuff. So, it’s the first ride for absolutely ages. He’s done fantastic. Yeah, but he’s a fit lad anyway. So, he’s done well and it’s getting him back in the swing of things. But I think if he’s leaving us an online review, I think it’ll be a must do much better in terms of preparation and directions because we’ve we’ve got lost about half a dozen times. But that’s part for the course. That’s what happens with uh Sir Kenneth and Paul. Lost is a guarantee. That could be our strap line. There it is, lads. That’s a terrible bend they’ve just come across there. Dangerous. That. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Don’t wait for me. So, that’s uh 60 mi 6. Slow progress today. Really enjoyed it, though. We’re just uh near the old Dean Water Hotel here near Woodford now. got kind of the big dip. Just going over the river there. The old hotel was on the left there. I think it’s shut now. And then we got the climb up to the top and then we’ll uh do a little summary. I think I’ll just wait to Ken and Kev at the top of this hill. So, there we go. We’re almost home now, aren’t we? Just a few miles left. about four. So, um yeah, we’ve done our first ever cycle quest or questing, whatever you call it, episode one in Cheshire. Um it’s turned out to be a lovely afternoon, hasn’t it? Bit bit miserable around mis put my teeth in midday, wasn’t it? Yeah, it’s gone well. It was a good ride, but we kept getting lucky. Very lucky we were. We were and fair play to Kev. I mean, fair play to you, mate. He’s been injured. You love jogging and running, don’t you? You’ve not been able to do anything because he’s had quite a bad injury and it’s his first ride for how long roughly? Oh, I don’t know, a few months. Yeah. Good for you, Mom. Well, on the road. And you’ve done what? 100 over 100K. 100K. 4K. Yeah. Fair play to you, mate. Yeah. Good on you. And um and you’ve really enjoyed the quest Questing. What was your What was your rave review about the Questing? What was the comment about it? Oh, it was great. I really enjoyed you changed your tune. Yeah. I think I remember him saying it was the worst Dardax ever. So, we kept getting lost, didn’t we? Oh, yeah. Yeah. How many times did we get lost? One thing we’re very good at is getting lost in it. We’re we’re world experts at getting lost anyway. One thing you’re very good at is bloody arguing all it left here. Is it right? Yeah. Yeah. And I think the new nickname, what is it? Laurel Lardi. Laurardi. So yeah. So it’s been been a great day. It’s been a long day, but it’s been enjoyable. Only what? I’ve seen bits of Cheshure that I’ve not seen before. So yeah, come out with me.
