Wednesday 31 May 2017 – An Evening Walk in Stockport

The ‘SWOG’ evening walks got under way a while ago but this was the first that Sue and I were able to attend.
Very good it was too, ably led by Campbell around the paths of Woodbank Park. But not on the parkrun route!
There were about thirty participants, including new faces via Meetup. But also a lot of familiar faces.

It was pretty dark under the leafy canopy, which acted as a good shelter from the light shower that was all that the steely grey clouds could offer.

The young cricketers weren’t affected.

Down by the river, Campbell called a halt and went prospecting for new members …”age no barrier”, (see top picture), but both the prospective members and a number of barking dogs ran away into the river.

If you have an hour or so spare, this is a delightful stroll from the car park on the corner of Turncroft Lane in Stockport. It’s about 4.5 km – shown below.

The Gardeners Arms at the southern end of Turncroft Lane provided suitable post walk sustenance. Excellent.
The SWOG programme is here. All are welcome. (You may need to email for rendezvous details if you are not a member.)
