Staffs 3: Mow Cop

Posted on 14 September 20182 April 2021 by Rob Ainsley

More route research, this time up spectacular Mow Cop (rhymes with ‘Cow Mop’) south of Congleton. A mile of relentless uphill, average 12%, max 25%, with sweeping views from the folly at the top. Cycled up it, and I didn’t stop once. More like four times.
