Saturday 12th October - Rainow Romp

The start
Wow - a great turnout today for the 'Rainow Romp' and we just managed to beat the poor weather.

The route today was a bit shorter (about 5k) but the terrain was more 'challenging'. We ran from Smithy Lane in Rainow to Oakenbank Lane and along towards the back of Savio House. From there we dropped down to Ingersley Vale and along to the waterfall. The group then split with one sub-group heading back across the fields and the other group going up the steep hill onto the side of Kerridge Ridge.

Some good running today - well done.

A large contingent then returned to Cheryl's house to demolish loads of cake, biscuits, coffee and tea - many thanks to Cheryl for hosting.

Apologies - poor light and a wet phone mean poor photographs this week - sorry (note to self, must do better)
