Packington Moor - 10mph - Steady

A steady ride mainly on quiet country lanes. We will leave the park, head through the Four Oaks estate and out of Sutton via Mere Green. We'll go through Hints word and skirt the outside of Tamworth before heading towards Elford, then through Fisherwick and Whittington. We will stop after 17 miles at Packington Moor Farm Shop and Cafe for refreshments (don't forget to bring some money!) before heading back to Sutton Park via Weeford and Little Hay. There are a couple of hills, but nothing worse than our favourite Hillwood Common Road! :-) It is a fairly long route (24 miles) and we are aiming to average 10 mph. This means 2.5 hours moving time, plus 30 mins for coffee. We should be back to the car park for 1pm. However, it will be later if we have any mechanical incidents, a longer refreshment break etc. If you need to be back by a particular time, please let one of the leaders know and we will do our best for you. Helmets are strongly recommended.
