Saturday 10 May - Kerridge & Bollington

A change of plan from the advertised route following heavy rain. 

A great turnout with 21 runners joining for a hilly route, along the Middlewood Way to the farm track then Oak Lane and up 'Neil's Hill' where, for a change, we didn't do any reps. Then along to the Redway and up and over into Bollington. A couple of tough climbs here, then up the infamous Lord Street (which produced a few moans), and back down Grimshaw Lane to the car park. 

4 miles in total, with everyone putting in a great effort, including looping back.

A post run coffee was taken at the Waterside for a few of us.
