Wednesday 4 May 2022 - SWOG go to Fletcher Moss

Meanwhile, hawthorn flowers flourish next to our local canal towpath.

And here's a picture of our local secluded pond. As well as the ubiquitous Canada Goose, can you spot the Coot that lives here just a few metres from the canal, on which its appearances are very rare.

Yesterday my daughter treated us to a 'Grazing Box' from Barista in Bacup. Thank you Kate, here's the picture you requested. The box will last us for days. I'm afraid there's no picture of the cream tea that accompanied it, due to that having been eaten...

Last night Sue and I joined about 25 folk from SWOG (Stockport Walking and Outdoors Group) for a 6km stroll around Fletcher Moss Park and Millgate Fields, in Didsbury. It was our first outing with the group since Lockdown, over two years ago. It was good to see everyone, all two years older than when last seen.

Here are a few pictures taken as dusk approached - Harvey and Helen led us along a pleasant route that took in the gardens and an assortment of Mersey Valley paths.

Here's our route - including our 'to and fro' from parking near my son's house.
