Introduction This walk almost joins the walk I completed last week but comes to Bow Stones from the opposite direction. I was surprised and delighted to find that I’d never previously walked the paths up from from Adlington Basin to Bow Stones. Adlington Basin is a 20 minute drive from…
Introduction With a North East Cheshire Lawn Tennis League match to play this evening, a short walk not too far away was the order of the day today. Just over the back of Lyme Park, and on the road from Higher Disley to Kettleshulme lies the old Moorside Hotel, now…

Introduction All week, Thursday’s forecast has been for a band of rain / snow to arrive around the middle of the day. In hope that the forecast may change, I planned a walk in the hills. I also had a Plan B. I set the alarm for an early start,…
Introduction I decided to stay down in the Cheshire Plain today, for this walk in the Dane Valley between Holmes Chapel and Congleton. There are only three bridges over the river between these 2 towns, one being a main road. I chose to create a circular walk using the other…
