Day 9 - Cholmondeley to Eccleston

The cycling today was rolling and calm: nothing spectacular; thankfully nothing challenging either. Here are some photos:

Cow love:



Crossing the Mersey (at least, I think it's the Mersey) at Acton Bridge:




Primitive farmyard robot man, near Wigan:



One of umpteen motorway crossings. Not the most exciting photo but sums up much of the day:




Just north of Wigan, an old fella leapt into the road and flagged us down wildly. 'Lands End to John O'Groats, aye?!', he enquired. It turns out that he had done the trip (solo) some years before and, spotting our panniers, saw his chance for a chin-wag with like-minded souls. Brilliant - it's chance encounters like that make the trip what it is...
