We left Great Haywood last Sunday and with overnight stops at Salt (bridge 82), Stone, Barlaston and Longport, we are now rested at Kidsgrove.
Longport is most noted for Westport Lake. This is a lovely nature reserve and Lynne was in her element bird spotting. Beyond the lake and the town itself was, well not very pretty shall we say. Time to move on.
Next up was the Harecastle tunnel. It takes 45 minutes to get through the tunnel. As you enter the tunnel, the doors bang closed behind you. The extractor fan then booms into life. The sound of the fan slowly fades behind you, then a small spec of light in front slowly gets larger. Water drips now and again and the cold air fells eerily chilly. They say the tunnel has ghosts...The small spec of light becomes a large opening and as you exit the tunnel, you can feel the warmth of the sun again.
