07th: Broadbottom walk
After the snow of the past three months, Sunday was a bit
frosty but seriously blue skies, green fields and visibility in excess
of 25 miles. Eleven of us met with Scott for a walk from Broadbottom,
along bits of Cown Edge Way via Bothams Hall and up to Werneth Low for a
stunning view of Ikea, well actually the whole of Greater Manchester,
Bleaklow, kinder, huge view! Back down towards Glossop and lunch at a
pond with views, up again to Mottram Church, yet more views, and around
via Mudd (look it up on your map) to the start. Very nice pint at the
finish. Along the way a very clean pair of boots and snow gaiters were
road tested, and on the mud scale of Stockport this walk was found
lacking, only two short stretches of the brown stuff. Good collection of
dogs, horses, and cats though, and a garden gnome. Many thanks to Scott
