Saturday 24th June - Bollin Valley Banger or Cheadle Park Run

Today a group of 15 D runners did a banging 5mile loop from the Riverside car park to Prestbury, taking in Tytherington golf course and the paths tracks and trails of the BollinValley.

There was some brilliant looping and most excellent sprinting on more than one occasion, particularly when we happened upon the Long Horn cattle ( twice despite a route change mid run )!

Great running by everyone, well done and to all those who attended Cheadle or LadyBower and those running at Colshaw on Sunday.

Saturday 17th June - Danes Moss Loop

Today 17 D group runners were out for a very hot and humid 'Danes Moss Loop'. This was a new route with field paths, quiet lanes, canal, nettles, a couple of undulations and lots of sunshine. The weather was hot and sticky so everybody had to work extra hard.
Big respect to those that ran to the start or continued at the end as part of longer training runs!

On our route we bumped into Gill who is cycling 550 miles to raise money for Cancer Research whilst her friend, Charlotte, is undergoing chemotherapy. In Gill's words both of them will 'feel like shit at the end of the three weeks'. The link to the fundraising page is here..at CYCLING FOR CHARLOTTE

Saturday 10th June - Congleton ParkRun (support C25K runners)

A number of D groupers, Anna, Rachel, Vanessa, Lindsey and Julie (and Bella, Julie's dog) ran the Congleton Park Run. Braving the wind and rain, the D groupers supported the most recent couch to 5K graduates.

Good running everyone.

Saturday 3rd June - Reverse Forest 5

On a beautiful summer morning, 13 D groupers made it up to Macc Forest for a reverse Forest 5 route.

Everyone coped really well with some tough climbs, especially as it was a bit warm. The shady forest parts were very welcome.

Two runners left at the Leather's Smithy to run home (well done Julie & Christine), and a few continued round the reservoir for a bit of an extension. All in all a lovely run with a lovely group. Thanks to Mel & Julie for extra pictures!
