Saturday 16th November - Bridges Ridges and Canals

Today 7 intrepid D groupers headed out for a bridges ridges and a crossing of a canal route in lovely dry wintry conditions.

After a quick warm up, the group headed along the Middlewood Way and over their first bridge to the canal and their second, before running across the farm track.

After a quick horse pat, the group continued to "Neil's hill". The first diversion of the route was taken as we decided to climb the side path where the old gravity lifts for the quarry used to reside.

A flat run back to the footpath to the ridge, saw the second and perhaps most exciting diversion, especially for the runners with us, who had never seen such a thing......the elephant stone!

Once the excitement died down, we headed over to White Nancy and then back down round the Redway to the farm track to Tinkers Clough.

The group then headed back along the Middlewood to finish.

A particularly jolly run.

Thanks All

Mel and Andy ( guest "leader" Dave W ).
