One of the 3 winter training runs. Different to the Frodsham and Mickle Trafford runs in that it takes a circular route.

The Route

Out of the club gates and turning right along the main road to the traffic lights after the petrol station. We turn left here heading towards Chester and shortly cross the road. We follow the A56 as far as the Dunham Arms where a right turn takes us down Hob Lane and out onto quiet country lanes. A bit after a mile we get to a crossroads where it's right then a swift left onto Thornton Green Lane which will take us over the motorway and off to Thornton village. A right turn onto the main A5117 road going upto the traffic lights where we then turn left and crossing over a couple of roundabouts (watch out for the juggernauts !) pass Shell's Thornton Research Centre. Following the road onwards takes us on a turn through Ince and then Elton villages before dropping us back onto the A5117. Back over the motorway at junction 14 and it's a straight blast back to the club house.
