Lunch at the Meccano Bridge and picnic table between Bolton and Bury
The sun is shining. It's time to plan to get out of the house. If I set some dates and venues I have to be there. Others are welcome to join me. Here's the current plan:
Monday Bike rides,
all starting at 9.00 am from Timperley
Bridge , on the towpath by the Metro
Station, and heading initially towards Sale
23 March - Pennington Flash > Mucky
Mountains > Sankey Valley
30 March - Bolton > Bury
circuit (60 km) [Lunch = picnic at the Meccano bridge.]
13 April - Bury > Chadderton > Rochdale Canal Gigg
Lane
20 April - Trans-Pennine Trail west from Stretford > Cheshire Ring
Canal from Romiley to Timperley via Manchester
Note: on all of these dates, if the weather is poor, or we
feel like a shorter route, other options are available, including the
Fallowfield Loopline Circuit (50 km) and the Moore Lane (Acton Bridge) Circuit
(also 50 km)
Friday morning walks:
27 March - Hanging Stone and Lud's Church - a favourite
outing, 10 km starting from the bridge at Danebridge at 10.00 am (SJ 965 652).
[Adjourn to the Ship Inn.]
10 April - A 17 km circuit from Hale, via the Bollin Valley Bankhall Lane
17 April - A 16 km circuit via Furness Vale and Whaley
Bridge, from the main car park at Lyme Park, starting at 10.00 am (SJ 963 823).
[Café at Lyme Hall.]
1 May - Around Bunbury, starting at 10.00 am from the green
by St Boniface Church (SJ 570 581). 11 km with various refreshment points.
I'll soon put these dates on our topwalks.com website when the old computer is reconnected after some carpet laying, so any amendments will appear there. All are welcome to join me, but it may be worth letting me know if you plan on turning up.
Enjoy the sunshine...
