HAD now become eager to try and reach
Manchester this day, and by 4 o'clock we
had made a start. -My mind was set upon
Glasgow by Saturday.
Our friend, the publican, saw us off, and
gave us full directions (no
"straight oast"),
and
without much difficulty we got clear of the
town.
Stone, miles, was left slightly to the right.
The roads were good with the exception of
those around \Tewcastle-under-Lyne. At this
place my. cyclist had some trouble to get a
breakfast,. but eventually he succeeded in
scrambling one together.
