Day 10 - Whalley to Crewe

We followed the CTC route for the first few miles from Whalley, which is very scenic. However, scenic means hilly and worried about Sue's knee, we abandoned the planned route and dropped down onto the A49 south of Preston. We followed this through Wigan and Warrington, though busy in parts and quite urban, we made good progress. We turned off into the country lanes south of Warrington and made our way towards Crewe. The weather had been cloudy but dry but it started drizzling a little for the last hour's run into Crewe where we stayed at the Travelodge.
