Jane, Carol, Hilary

The weather was a bit warmer than it had been, we even saw sunshine!

There were not many instructions for this walk so we were bound to make mistakes.

Started at Brook Lane Alderley Edge. We headed across the fields but it was not easy to know which was the correct direction.

Lunch sitting on a bench at the end of Merryman's Lane, it was in the shade.

We loved Grogham Cottage, such a cute thatched cottage.
Crossed the railway line.
Walked across bridges over the bypass.
Passed a large area of Glass houses
Chorley Hall was not very visible behind the trees.
Walked along the bypass to return to the car.

Went to The Wizard for tea and chocolate.I was a bit worried about the fuel situation in the car as it was pretty much on empty but fortunately we got home!

Sunny day, blue sky, fluffy clouds, I thought it might be too warm.

Cute animals, foals, calves, butterflies, etc

We did a lot of the walk before lunch, we got to Hare Hill there was a sign saying 'picnic area' so we were hoping for benches, but there were none. Just bird poo! So we sat on the grass further away from the pool.

As we left the Edge went wrong somewhere, we only realised this as we came to a road, as we walked along it we came to Swiss Hill and as we should have been at the top of it we went up it to see where we had gone wrong! But it was not obvious when got there so we went a little further up.

There are some big houses along this route.

Tea and cake at a cafe in Alderley Edge high street.
