30 and 31 January 2022 - Community Run Vimto and Dunham Massey Revisited



I couldn't resist including Sunday morning's picture of Michael, sidelined from running due to a calf muscle pull resulting from his trying to keep up with a faster runner, organising mugs of hot Vimto for the 2km and the 5km runners taking part in Wythenshawe's Community Run. Thanks Michael.

On Monday, a message from Jen Darling indicated that her 'West Cheshire and Wirral' walk around Dunham Massey needed editing. I couldn't quite work out the accuracy of the description, despite having walked in the other direction a week earlier, so I nipped out to a different starting point. It was a worthwhile exercise, as things do tend to look different from 'the other direction'.

Some late afternoon sun allowed me to take a few more snaps:

Winter trees by Woodhouse Lane

Canada geese, coots, moorhens and mallards at the smithy pool

C16 watermill/sawmill, renovated in 2022 (tarpaulin removed since last week)

The oak tree in Little Bollington's 'village green'

Late afternoon at the Bridgewater Canal in Little Bollington

The route, very similar to last week's but in the other direction, is shown below - starting in a clockwise direction from Agden Bridge at the bottom left. 6.5 km (4 miles) - allow an hour and a half. Click on any of the images for better versions.
