This morning, 17 E Groupers met at Alan Howard Hairdressers Car Park off Hulley Road to run the Buxton Loop. With a prompt warm up due to a strong wind, we headed for the canal which took us to Buxton Road. We ran up Buxton Road - which is no easy task, well done everyone! We were encouraged by an Eddie Stobarts Lorry giving us a friendly 'toot'!
From here we went along Ecton Avenue and down past the small reservoirs with a cheeky detour to Swans Pool. We then took the road back along Higher Fence Avenue to the canal, enjoying a decent down the Rainow Road and alongs Queens Avenue to find us back at the cars.
When the weather improves, we will do this route again and head along the famers path at the top to enjoy views of Macclesfield!
Well done everyone!
E Group Leaders :)
A blog to keep the members of Macclesfield Harriers E Group informed about our past and future runs. We tend to run at a pace of 10 - 12 min/mile for about 4-5 miles. If you are interested in joining the group please contact group leaders Wendy Boardman (wendyboardman77@googlemail.com) or Jenny Airey (jenfa23@gmail.com) Ideally new members should be capable of running ~15 minutes without stopping.

Saturday 4th February 2017 - CAFOD Route
18 met at the Skate park this bright sunny February morning for the 4.5 miles CAFOD run along the Middlewood Way & canal. There was lots of looping & great chat this morning. Not too many stops today so a great endurance session. Welcome to new member Cat. Well done everyone!
6 of us went to the Waterside afterwards for a well-earned coffee & Tea Cake.
Here are a few pics Thanks to Damian for the thorough warm up & Abi for co-piloting :)
