A
cool and still morning saw an excellent turn out at Marple top lock for
our first Thursday walk of the year; the attendance augmented with the
increasing
numbers of us fifty-somethings with extra leisure time during the day; truly, a sign of the times.
We proceeded along the Peak Forest canal before skirting around the outskirts of
Disley;
crossing the A6 and zig zagging over the railway line. On the approach
to High Lane, Jack decided that it would be a good idea if we proceeded
in smaller groups in order to stagger arrival at the pub; suffice to say
that we did all make it to the pub, eventually.
We
par-took of the good value carvery before continuing back to Marple
along the Macc canal. Linda and myself then stepped out back down the
locks and on to Hyde.
Yours truly jogged on to Guide Bridge and then train to Ashburys and CoMStadium. City won the match but lost the tie, shucks.
Inspite of the footie, it was a brilliant day out and we look forward to further Thursday outings.
