Sunday 9th March Marple & Mellor – 10 – 11 miles

The numbers never stopped going up on the walk. The first head account before we set of was 27 and 1 dog. By the end we had 33 walkers out on a fine sunny day.


 We set of from Marple Bridge to Compstall and though Etherow park with a loo stop on route. Coffee break was asked for but my aim was to head up high to Werneth Low where we could enjoy the views.

 It was worth the last slog up there. Then it was back down hill though the woods to Chew for lunch. With views toward the Dark Peaks.

 

After lunch we had one small hill to climb be fore heading down back to Marple Bridge. Passing some very white ducks that seem to be having a bad feather day.

  I did find some mud for Linda but she did the norm at not getting any mud on her boots.



The walk was just under the distance that I said but after doing a12 mile training run late Saturday afternoon and then a 10 mile walk on a injury. The legs needed a rest. Plus I had to go a friends shop who was having a grand opening Anngelic Bliss.




Many thanks for the first timers who came on the walk. I will have more chance to talk to you all when I can walk in the middle of the walk.



See you all on another walk soon.
