A good turnout of 25 walkers followed Jack down the Middlewood Way before turning off through fields to Windlehurst. Click on an image to access a slideshow.
The meadow by Moult Wood was full of buttercups. and we had plenty of time to chat as it takes a while for 25 (mostly) old crocks to climb each stile.

We crossed and re-crossed the Macclesfield Canal.
From Marpleridge, good views across Mellor Moor and into the Peak District.
As the sun dipped, we descended to the Peak Forest Canal, then returned to the towpath of the Macclesfield Canal for a while.
Then we watched the sunset as we sauntered across a golf course, back to the Middlewood Way and thence to Rose Hill.
Here's the route, one of many in this area - about 8 km with 150 metres ascent.
Thanks to Jack for leading this pleasant evening stroll with
SWOG.
