A local ride for me this time, as I enjoy a route around the former coal mining areas surrounding the Staffordshire town of Newcastle-under-Lyme. Passing through the vast (and hilly!) country parks of Silverdale and Apedale, I stop to take a breather in a very poignant location. More hills follow as I then head towards the leafy campus of Keele University. Can I negotiate the very bumpy Hollywood Lane without falling off? Will my tired legs carry me back to the town? And how many different pronunciations of "Halmer End" can I say in one video? Watch this episode and find out!
