Starting at Lake View garage, we soon take our leave of the A523, turning right through Rushton James. As we reach the outskirts of Congleton, short sections of the A527 and A54 take us to the A34, which we follow through Marton, Monks Heath, and past Alderley Park [25:53] where some kindly traffic lights give us the chance to overtake some standing traffic.

At Gatley [40:00] , we leave Kingsway to join the westbound M60 to skirt past Northenden and after just a couple of minutes on the motorway [42:30] we head into central Manchester along the A5103 Princess Road, another 1930s creation that fares a bit better than Kingsway, making it all the way to the edge of the city centre by way of West Didsbury, Fallowfield, Moss Side and Hulme. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gV_7O0nPeMg
