Saturday 18th August

The A Team prepare

The group met on the viaduct on the Middlewood Way (Bollington) at 9.30am - it was a warm and humid day. A great turnout with Dawn, Divya (K), Sarah, Jo, Phil, Bev, Dawn, Nicky & Lee (Lee has not been out with us for a while so welcome back!). Several group members were away on holiday.

The route today was the CAFOD route which goes south along the Middlewood Way, through Tinkers Clough (yes, it is a bit steep), back up the canal for a couple of miles and then back across to the Middlewood Way and back to the starting point. A decent 5 miles!

The heat took its toll today but everyone ran the course with a few walk-breaks and lots of 'loop back' to keep us together. Everyone looked tired at the end but well exercised ...  so we went to the Cafe Waterside for a selection of coffee, smoothie, coke, tea cake, toast etc.

A very pleasant way to spend a Saturday morning - well done everyone (and good preparation for the 10K relay on Saturday 25th).
