Middlewich walk and planning

Saturday 4 January 3.8 miles

Hilary, Donna, Tracey, Jane and Carol

Sunny weather!

We met at the Big Lock.

From the Big Lock we walked clockwise along the canals. First we were on the Trent and Mersey canal and then joined the Middlewich Branch of the Shropshire Union canal. We came off and walked along Coalpit Lane. At the A54 we walked to the Stanthorne Bridge and crossed the road to join the path beside the River Wheelock, the path continues around until The Wheelock joins the River Dane. We came back to the canal by the bridge over the river. We followed the path back to the Big Lock. The pub did not open until 12 o'clock so we sat in the sunshine on the seats outside, we did get a bit cold.

Once the pub opened we had lunch at the Big Lock - two B.L.T. toasted sandwiches and three nachos and chilli beef.

Then we did our planning meeting.
