After having virtually all of Cheshire complete to public road level, and having spent the last few weekends mapping footpaths, I decided it was time to get back on the bike and head into North Staffordshire - where there is plenty of roads still unmapped. Leek was my target this weekend.

Didn't have too much time to spare, but managed to get a couple of hours around the northern part of town, including Brough Park.

I did manage to find a residential street signed as a 20% gradient - which I duly mapped in both directions... Tough work uphill in such hot conditions. I seemed to miss any rain whilst I was there though - whilst several other nearby places had torrential thunderstorms.

Interestingly, on Saturday as I was just packing up to go home around 6:30pm, someone beeped their horn and waved whilst I had an OSM Surveyor jacket on. I wonder if that was anyone on here?
