Stone, Staffordshire.

Not a place I've been to before, whizzed through on the train plenty of times, however work has brought me here to look at improving a section of National Cycle Network 5 from Aston to Stone. I was accompanied by local resident, former work colleague, travel writer and cycling journalist extraordinaire. You see more of one of Steve's current projects here: Seven Day Cyclist.

Extra photos show what a tough day it was out and about pootling around on my Brompton in the sunshine...
