Wilmslow Circular

I have saved this walk for public consumption. Anyone can follow the route using the OS app, providing you have a registered account (Free) in future.

Depleted numbers due to the Wanderers European Invasion meant that it was just myself and Steve this week and due to an oversight on my behalf we had to car share, so thanks Steve for picking me up.

This is a nice flat easy walk, we skirted around the boundary fence of the airport next to Runway 2 for approximately 30 minutes, heading toward the under runway tunnel created for the Bollin river.

Unfortunately the last quarter of a mile was blocked due to construction work (only a couple of days before!). However we boxed round and continued the route, some paths were a little overgrown and we met a field full of moody bulls but other than that we had a pleasant walk.

We picked up the Bollin trail and walked back to the Ship Inn where we met Tom for a pint.

Next week’s walk will be led by Russell, starting from Chinley. SK23 9EJ, 9.40am start. Meet on the bridge over the bypass. Route – Chinley Circular.

Happy Wandering!
