July 8 2006 Section 3 10.3 miles (17km)
Tegg's Nose to Disley
Jane(drove), Hilary, Donna
Ranger guided walk.
This section felt like harder work than the 15 miler - I obviously wasn't in the mood.
I also managed to lose the car keys!!(They dropped out of my pocket onto the bus seat)I only realised when we stopped for lunch. John had to come out with the spare keys!
We went to the pub at the end and we were presented with the certificates!!

Gritstone Trail
June 24 2006 Section 2 15.3miles (24km)
Explorer 268 Wilmslow, Macclesfield & Congleton & Outdoor Leisure 1 (Dark Peak)
Timbersbrook to Tegg's Nose
Donna (drove), Hilary, Jane
Ranger guided walk.
I was pleased at how well I coped with this walk - I took plenty of water and thankfully it wasn't too hot.
We all managed to keep up in the middle of the group so that when we stopped for a rest we had a slightly longer rest, we really appreciated it.
The last section was the very steep hill up to the car park, it was a bit of a killer.

June 10 2006 Section 1- 9 miles
Kidsgrove to Timbersbrook

Ranger guided walk.
It was a hot sunny day so it was great to be up in the hills where there is a bit of a breeze.
The Guide took it slowly to begin with,there were plenty of rests at the beginning, we probably had lunch a bit early on Mow Cop. The folly of Mow Cop was built in 1754 by Squire Wilbraham to improve the view from Rode Hall.
We were near the back so we didn't get much of a rest when we stopped.
I think the football was on so the guide booked the coach to come a bit earlier and tried to rush us towards the end - I struggled a bit through the woods and so did some of the others as it was rather warm! I probably didn't have enough nibbles to keep me going.
