Introduction I was pushed for time today, so chose to join up several paths I know well with a section I’ve not walked before to make a lovely 5.8 mile walk. A ten minute drive, and I was soon setting out. The weather was marked by a strong, cold north…
Introduction Heading out for my walks, I often pass through Macclesfield. Today, I thought I’d stop there. If you walk east from Macclesfield, you will be walking uphill. This 6.5 mile walk included a total ascent of 1100feet (335m). It was an exciting day for weather, starting out very sunny,…
Back to Plan A from last week! With good weather expected I headed out to Rainow, between Macclesfield and Whaley Bridge. Rainow is just a half hour drive from Cheadle Hulme. The weather was beautiful! Not since the 2nd December had I seen such a consistently sunny day. The walk…
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 It was such an unseasonably warm December day today. So, although I’d played 2 hours tennis this morning, I couldn’t resist a short walk in one of my favourite places. This is a fantastic place for dog walking, well made paths, and no wildlife nor livestock to worry about…
Introduction It has been extremely wet this week. So it was with some trepidation and a sense of adventure that I left home today. I decided to stay quite close to civilisation, and take some well used paths. Despite that slight concern, it is a walk that I knew was…
Introduction I was looking after Rolo today, so decided to walk from Jordan and Delly’s house at Turf Lea, near Marple Ridge rather than have his muddy paws in the car! Today was clear, crisp, sunny and cold with a northerly breeze. Turf Lea is a little over 20 minutes…
Introduction I am delighted to be out of self isolation and to be Covid-free. It’s been 3 weeks since my last walk, and it felt good to be out in the countryside again. The walk is approximately 7 miles with 990ft, 300m, of ascent to tackle. The weather was dull,…
