Saturday 13th October

Start - in the sunshine

Once again we had good weather but the recent wet weather had made the Bollin Valley very muddy (it was fine on Thursday afternoon!). We had 11 runners out today (in the past this would have been a large group but after recent weeks this was much smaller!) - in fact a few people were 'down with the lurgy' and could not make it. I think we may rename to 'Team Aldi' after the recent set of purchased running gear!

We started down the Bollin Valley to do the 'Prestbury Circuit' but the mud was not good and there was a lot of surface water about so we cut across past the golf course onto Dorchester Way and through the estate to Manchester Road. The group then split with some group members returning via Manchester Road and the others continued across to the Middlewood Way and eventually back to the starting point via Summerlea Close.

The run was just under 4 miles and everybody put a lot of effort in today especially on 'the hills' - I am so impressed with how hard everyone works!

Have a good week,

Neil
