Errrrrr.......... I did promise to look at organising a camping weekend sometime, but events have gotten the better of me. Today was the first time I've done anything other than commute since the weekend at Clapham :-( There are a few campsites near Chester, but mostly fairly basic. There _is_ a full spec C&CC club site at Delamere.
I have thought of doing this as a forum ride, even as a night ride. From Chester station to the ferry at Seacombe is about 51Km, a fairly easy day ride, mostly on traffic free paths . From Seacombe get the ferry across the Mersey to Liverpool & it's a short ride back to Lime St for people to get a train home, or back to Chester to pick up cars.
