We set a 3 gate challenge up 'Neil's Hill' - in which we all chose to run to the first, second or third (the top) gate with fantastic efforts being made by everyone to push themselves to or beyond their original challenge. We then headed across the path to the base of White Nancy and took on the '3 bend challenge' up the White Nancy approach path - again a brilliant effort - and I think there was a general consensus that the hills were our friends!!
We then reaped the rewards of all the uphill with lovely views of Bollington and a nice downhill to the waterfall at Inglesley Vale. We then ran back through Bollington and along The Recreational Ground and back to the Skate Park to stretch and cool down.
We met up with D group in the Waterside Cafe afterwards to share stories of our morning runs!
Thank you for your help and support on our first run as leaders, we really enjoyed it and can't wait for future runs!
