January 6th -- Bollington, Cheshire | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Whoops! You can't get a 12 ft coach under an 11 ft bridge | So we had to relocate our A and B starting point to Bollington Cross a mile and a half West of Bollington | ||||
Despite coach problem another good day's walking. Misty, especially higher up. No significant rain. | |||||
The A and B walks headed back into Bollington together, where the A headed south along the Macclesfield Canal, while the B group.. | ..climbed up through the woods | ||||
onto the ridge | and up to the "White Nancy" Waterloo memorial | ||||
Following the "Saddle of Kerridge" ridge path | |||||
Mist | instead of views | ||||
on all sides. | |||||
