Saturday 29th October 2016 - Bollin Valley - C25K Welcome Run

Meeting point: Riverside Car Park, Beechwood Mews- Just off Manchester Road, opposite Tytherington High School. Postcode: SK10 2SL
Time: 9am - 10:15am
Route: Bollin Valley
Shoes: Trail if you have them but road are fine :)
Leaders: Dave and Louise
Coffee: Tytherington Club off Dorchester Way

We had a lovely run along the Bollin Valley this morning. 23 happy runners (including 3 C25K graduates Aideen, Sinead (who SPRINTED at the end!) and Anna). There was a bit of mud (but not enough to keep DD happy). It was interesting/sad to see how much damage had been done by the very heavy rain last month. We ran through Prestbury and spotted some beautiful flowers outside the church (Lady H's daughter's wedding last weekend!!). Lots of lovely looping and encouragement. We had coffee at The Tytherington Club afterwards where Wendy presented Sinead with her certificate and medal (yes, the couchies got bling this time!!) for completing the C25K course. Well done everyone.

Saturday 22nd October 2016 - Hollins Hobble

This morning, 18 E Group runners met to run the popular Hollins Hobble route with DD and DD in charge!

The run started along the canal towards Windmill Street and up towards the Golf course before revealing amazing views over Cheshire and Staffordshire.

There was some really good running this morning and as always, a good gas!

We are allowed to park at Fairways Garden Centre if we use the coffee shop, so please try and stay next time if you can.

See you next week.

Saturday 15th October 2016 - Sutton Surprise

This morning, 20 E Group runners met to run the Sutton Surprise. The route consists of 2 miles down the canal to Fools Nook, up to Sutton Reservoir and back to the garden centre via roads and fields. The group was able to run a good consistent speed along the canal and it was brilliant to see so many people tackle 'the hill' - some for the first time! Well done everyone.

Coffee and toasted tea cakes were enjoyed by a large group following the run.

See you next week,

Wendy and Louise
