Get Together

Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 December 2016
Christmas Get together

We woke to a foggy morning, a little disappointing for people wanting to play golf and walk!

Hilary booked Carden Park for our night away. Some of us had Junior suites, and some the Courtyard suites.

Golf - Phil, Chris, Martin and John eat mince pies and drank whisky as well as played golf.
The sun shone.

Walk - Jane, Hilary and Ian went for a 3.5 mile walk. Ian found a path on the map on his phone and we followed that. There was a shoot going on at one point, great views across the countryside to Chester and even sunshine. Then we played a couple of games.

Spa - Carol, Tracey and Donna

Dinner was in the Redmond's Restaurant

Breakfast again in the Redmond restaurant with lots of choice.

Walked around in the sunshine, up to the golf course, had a look at the view from the eighteenth hole.

Lyme Park and the Macclesfield Canal

Saturday 26 November 5 miles
Hilary + Jane

After Friday's blue sky and sunshine opening the curtains to fog was very disappointing. It makes you wonder if it is worth leaving home.

Thank goodness we did decide to drive away from Middlewich, as soon as we got to the Chelford roundabout the fog disappeared and the sun shone.


We started at the Boar's Head, on Shrigley Road North, parking just down the road. We turned onto Lyme Road, passing over the Middlewood Way, up the lane, across the canal then out into the countryside.

On our way uphill we passed a farm with a bike outside with the names Sophie and Helen on it. Sophie Thornhill and Helen Scott won gold at the Rio Paralympics.

We continued up hill and came to the boundary of Lyme Park with the National Trust sign displayed.
