Anyone else had trouble at Blacon?

Cycled through Blacon on Wednesday evening at about 8:30 PM. There must have been 40+ youths in a pack blocking the path. I cycled right at them, ringing my bell and just managed to get through. I was with a friend, who's 6' 5" and there was a police mobile CCTV truck in the carpark.

If I'd been on my own and no police van, I think I'd have lost my bike - they were asking to take it as it was.

We passed a lone cyclist and a jogger going towards the pack. I can't imagine how they got on.

Always worried about cycling through Blacon and would not do it in the evening . Would hope that the Police take action against these yobs

Was this on the streets in Blacon or on the Cycle Path (Greenway)?

Glyn, this was on the Greenway.

And today, heading towards Chester on the Greenway at 16:15, I was hit between the shoulder blades by what I think was a stone from a catapult, from the over bridge by the pub - it was quite an impact, but I was chuffed that I didn't fall off. Also pleased that I didn't turn around and have a violent confrontation.
