Saturday 20th August - Gritstone Trail Day 1

Saturday 20th August (19 miles, 3,300ft of ascent/descent)
 

Train from Macclesfield station at 8.15am, arrive Kidsgrove 8.29am – cost £6.80 (be at the station by 8.00am to buy tickets etc)

Start running from Kidsgrove station at 8.30am


1. After 4 miles arrive Old Man of Mow car park at approx. 09.30am
2. 9.7 miles Timbersbrook car park approx. 11.00am
3. 12.6 miles Public Car Park near Knott Inn, Rushton Spencer approx. 12 noon (this is NOT the Knott Inn Car Park) - probably have a food break here.
4. 19 miles Ryles Arms, Sutton approx. 3.00-4.00pm
 


Timings based on a decent 'D Group' pace (obviously slower on the hills)

We may have a drink before we head home!

Please note, this is a very hilly route and you will need to carry your own food, drink, waterproofs etc and to arrange your own transport to/from your chosen start/finish location. 



Mel W is going to meet us at the Rushton Spencer stop around mid-day and can bring any items of food/clothing you want BUT this needs to be sorted out with Mel by Friday night latest.


Note: Please note that the timings are approximate, so if you plan to meet us anywhere you may need to build in some contingency time.
