Wednesday 7 May 2025 - SWOG around Poynton

The first SWOG (Stockport Walking and Outdoors Group) evening walk of the year took place from the Waitrose car park in Poynton. A challenging route plan from Phil Wharmby was sanitised by some of the local resident members to a pleasant hour and a half's gentle stroll of about7km for the twelve folk who attended.

It was still light enough for a few snaps to illustrate the flavour of the terrain.

After plodding around some familiar paths, we reached Poynton Pool. Nobody mentioned terrapins. Apparently there's a plan from Cheshire East Council to fell a load of trees and further sanitise the already 'suitable for wheelchairs' path to the west of the pool. How stupid!

Here's the 7km route. Very pleasant for a bit of evening exercise.
