After some driving tips, if you can help!

Manchester to Bury – which route is…
Fastest?
Most interesting?
Most scenic?
Best combination of all three of the above?

Thanks in advance!

😆

I sometimes weep while passing through Cheetham Hill, such is its beauty

Cheetham Hill is brilliant if you
1) Are not in a rush
2) Can lock all your doors and windows
3) Know that your ultimate destination is somewhere other than Cheetham Hill.

It has been a while since a local gang member has been found machine gunned in the police station car park.

The A56 passed Strangeways is much better. It lacks colour but it makes up for it in traffic levels. Speed camera outside fire station is switched on 😐

M621-M60

You have no romance or poetry in your soul.

Haha! I used to work in Cheetham Hill, I was late once because I had to take a detour due to a shooting.
There is a nice kebab shop just on Cheetham Hill road but thats about it. Oh and some very ropey protistutes that I would most definately avoid.
The scenary is ok, you have the massive wall of HMP Strangeways, some markets, lesser striped and greater hooded kids. Just remember not to feed them.

While out on the road bike after dark t’other week I got completely and totally lost around Bury. I ended up in the middle of nowhere. Still have no idea where I was. It was literally like an episode of Lost

Oh, and a man from Cheetham Hill once shoved a gun in my face. Which was frightfully rude, and quite frankly ruined my evening’s karma

FTFY

Metrolink…

…with your Brompton?

Ah now you see if you squint quickly you’ll just see the Salford Boys club 😉

The most scenic view of Manchester is through your rear-view mirror as it disappears into the distance as you’re leaving …

… or sense of direction?

Depending on the time of travel I’d probably hack up Cheetham Hill Road (in the bus lane out of hours with the doors locked), turn right past Heaton Park, then straight up the M66.

Cougie, you may be taking this a bit to seriously. 😉

I’d drive to Barton, get in the Piper Cub and park it on the industrial estate behind Tesco myself.

Oldham Road, Miles Platting, Newton ‘Eef, then left at the old Sharp factory,down Church Lane in Moston, up Moston Lane then up through Blackley.

Not the quickest but Bury will look far nicer when you get there.

On your way to the fabled land of milk and honey that is Huddersfield perhaps?

I think I’d also go to Barton as well, book myself onto one of those Helicopter Pleasure Flights they always advertise, then hijack it at gunpoint over Prestwich

then hijack it at gunpoint over Prestwich

Prestwich is awesome.

Question is, why do you want to go to Bury?

Tis the land of my birth.

TO stock up on black pudding, silly!

Cougie, you may be taking this a bit to seriously

You may be right. Too much blood in my caffeine stream.

Cougie? 😯 😆

Huddersfield is by far better. Simply use a 1mile-wide circular bit and drill out the centre. Then flush.

Harry, come over. We’ll even lay on a special flight and fly you Alan Bennett class on Yorkshire Airways.

I lived in Huddersfield for 3 years. I am aware of its charms.

Because the riding is better, the scenery more beautiful, the houses are cheaper, the people are friendlier and the air sweeter than bloody Chorlton. 😀

I’m pretty sure Manchester to Bury is doable by kayak.

I went to Moss Side by mistake once. 😥

“Darth Vader had the invisible giant’s complete attention”

Fred – My mate woke up, very drunk, at 4 in the morning, on the top floor of a double-decker, covered in half-eaten kebab, in a pitch black Moss Side bus depot. He didn’t know it was Moss Side bus depot. He didn’t have a clue where the **** he was. He had a pleasant surprise as he staggered out in the welcoming embrace of the Crescents 😆

this must be a joke?
