A lovely classic route to the beautiful, ethereal structure The Dream.

Breeze is an amazing community. I met Sue a Breeze leader local to this area. So armed with local knowledge and the Garmin on record we set off.

We set off along the Sankey Valley Trail to Clockface park. Then onto Sutton Bank to see The Dream. An amazing memorial for the mining community. I like my outdoor arty structures and this does not disappoint.

A beautiful memorial to the mining community. Amazing to see especially getting to it by pedal power.

A lot of traffic free paths, along the canal and cycle lanes. A few roads, but the majority quiet lanes. A small section of busy roads.

The main stop is of course the beautiful Dream. But also a cafestop at Bold Heath Garden Centre. Another unique stop off. A local farmer/butcher (not suitable for vegetarians) with a self service machine for fresh meat. I got gorgeous sausages, caramelised onion. https://www.dreamsthelens.com/

As usual, no helmet, no ride. Bring cash/card for the cafe and butchers. Any spares needed for your bike. Make sure you have an inner tube that fits your bike, they are all different. Please make sure your bike is in good working order, we aren't mechanics.
