Saturday 6th January - Bollin Valley Banger

For the first run of 2018 we had 20 runners out including a new member, Gail. All were eager to take on the challenge of the MUD! It didn't disappoint! There was a lot of it! Well done everyone for tackling it with such enthusiasm and for not falling over! Amazing that everyone stayed upright.

Almost 6 miles were covered including a new section from Prestbury with a tricky hill and back across part of the Tytherington golf course back into the Bollin Valley. We ended with a little sting in the tail hill on the other side of the valley. Great running everyone!

Saturday 30th December - Swanscoe Swagger

Today 13 D groupers set out for the last group run of 2017, with a Swanscoe Swagger.

In milder conditions than of late, we strode out onto the Middlewood way and then onto a rather lake like farm track to Kerridge. Up Neil's hill  ( excellent looping here ) and around to Ridgeway, there were buzzards to spot ( including one in a field ) and new territory to be ran for some.

A long descent down Hursdfield road concluded our jaunt. Hangovers were cured and cheese consumption combated.

See you all next year, here's to a fantastic 2018 for all!

Saturday 23rd December - Middlewood & canal meander

A huge group of D & E runners (28 in total) did a very sociable run up the Middlewood and canal, returning via the fields and farm track. A good pace was set with the group running well together. A mixture of terrain and much hilarity with alpaca spotting too! Well done everyone, great running!
