Thursday 27th April - Bollington 3 Peaks route recce

Meeting place

The Bollington 3 Peaks Fell Race is on Saturday 6th May. This D group run is a 'recce' of the route. 

Meet ready for a 6.15pm start at the skate park in Bollington (near the Vale Inn).

We will go up all three 'peaks' (Kerridge, White Nancy & the Nab) but we do miss out one small section of the route which is on private land.
It is about 7 miles with a lot of up and down. Trail shoes essential (and plenty of water if it is a hot evening).

Afterwards we will adjourn to the Vale Inn for refreshments (beer and food).

The route

Saturday 22nd April - Wildboarclough Wander!

Today 18 D Groupers met at Standing Stone car park on a glorious morning for running.

A tough climb up Shutlingsloe at the start meant we soon got warm! Views were amazing at the top. After a steep descent down the grassy slope we were soon on the road for about a mile. Then over some lovely fields with a few sheep and more fantastic views.

Great running from everyone today. Well done!

Leaders: Ali G & Janette with some help from Mel and Neil

Saturday 15th April - Rudyard Lake

A chilly spring morning at the Knot Inn, Rushton Spencer and 20 keen runners met for a loop of Rudyard Lake.

The first 2.7 miles was flat and straight, taking us alongside the lake where there were lots of rowers training. After a brief comfort break at the top of the lake we headed up into the woods, where yesterday's rain had muddied the path a little. A bit of undulation and some gorgeous views across the lake made it a memorable run.

Some excellent running from the group and great cow avoidance as we came down through the fields!!

Well done everyone, a fab start to the Easter weekend.

Leaders: Kim, Ali, Mel, Janette & Neil
