This morning, 11 determined runners met to take on the Hollins Hobble. With a few tales about how many hills were actually involved, we set off at a good pace along the canal, up to Macclesfield Golf Course and along (and up) the Hollins - with spectacular views at the top. What goes up, must come down and we then headed back through field and along the road from Langley to Sutton. Alison was feeling brave and challenged the group to an extra half a mile loop for good measure. Big respect to everyone as no-on headed back to the garden centre and the route total was just over 5 miles!!
Thank you again to Alison for the support and route guidance.
Welcome to Stef our new member :-D
A good turn out for tea, coffee and some lovely soft drinks afterwards at the garden centre.
Smiles before the start - welcome Stef
Up and over (if Neil we hear, we would get the history of the bridge....)
Quick pause and smile
