Saturday 18th February

 Today the weather was not kind - it was raining and windy - but 5 'intrepid heroes' (Louise, Nina, Sarah, Karaen and Sarah's sisterJo) turned out to run. Sadly Neil had a 'duff knee' and could not run with the group (age related?) - I was there in spirit though!

The group met at the Clough Bank Car Park (near Adelphi Mill, Bollington) and ran north along the Middlewood Way for 1/2 mile then turned back and ran south along the Middlewood Way to Clarke Lane. The group followed Clarke Lane, Oak Lane and eventually past the old Hollin Hall Hotel and back to the starting point via Grimshaw Lane. This is a route of about 4 miles with a few hills thrown in. See picture attached for route and elevation profile.

By the time the group returned everyone was soaked but in high spirits. Everyone ran the whole route - well done.
