Saturday 9th February - Mels Birthday Bimble

Today 10 runners completed a windy foresty route for Mels Birthday.

Starting at the rangers station we headed uphill and along to Nessit Hill to begin a long slog to to the top. Some fantastic views as a reward and then on to Standing Stone car park and down back into the forest (  and a nice new path next to the boardwalks ).

Another ascent up  to forest chapel and a "speed walk" up charity lane  was followed by a lovely descent into the forest and then a round of the reservoir to take us to the 10k mark.

Well ran everyone and welcome back CC!

Saturday 2nd February - Run & Talk (Middlewood Way)

Today 30 runners came out in freezing temperatures but glorious conditions, for the February #runandtalk to support Time to Talk Day.

After a quick introduction and warm up the group headed northward on a crunchy Middlewood Way for a 10k out and back.

A lovely diverse bunch of runners enjoying plenty of chat and winter scenery.

There was plentiful cake at the end.

Well done everyone.

Saturday 26th January - Bollin Valley Bimble

Today 10 D Trail Runners headed out on a version of several routes, which became a Bollin Valley Bimble and beyond.

In damp, mild conditions we headed from the car park into Riverside Park, ( no Egret ) and then doubled back to go under the railway bridge and around the golf course to Dorchester Way.

We then crossed over and had a back street tour of the estate in Tytherington, to eventually cross Manchester road and head around another estate ( and building site ) to The Middlewood Way.

A zip down to Clarke Lane bridge and then back up the canal to take the Middlewood Way back to the car park.

Well ran everyone.
