Saturday 30th August - Hurdsfield 3 hills

Before the start
A 'select band' of 7 runners braved cooler temperatures and rain to run the 'three hills' from Hulley Road. This is a tough route that goes up Hurdsfield Road, Well Lane, Swanscoe Lane, Kerridge Road, Windmill Lane, Redway Lane and back via the canal. ... oh, we threw a few 'donkeys' in at the end for good measure (they are good for you!).

Some impressive running up the hills (Nina even sprinted to the top of Kerridge Road!).

Sadly it rained for the last 1.5 miles but that just made us run a bit faster. Thanks to Dawn for helping today.

A few of the group went along for coffee with E Group afterwards.

Well done,

Neil
