Cheshire Ring Canal Walk - Macclesfield to Manchester
Initial plan for today was to walk along the canal from Macclesfield to Disley. From Disley then head back south along the Gritstone Trail to do a complete loop.
As the weather wasn't brilliant! and looking at the hills or lack of due to cloud! I decided to carry on all the way to Manchester.
Video below is taking a break from the heavy rain!! Glad I washed and re-proofed my jacket as at times the rain was pretty heavy. My new waterproof trousers,Kamleika Pants by OMM performed very well.
So the time taken to walk approx 25 miles was approx 8 hours. Would of been less but headed over a bridge to the other side of the canal, then discovered I had to double back!!
I've now covered 2/3rds of the 97 miles of the Cheshire Ring Canal Walk.
Saw the light!! whilst walking under the M60 motorway.
After 7 hours of walking it was time to stop for a breather! Legs resting on the arm of a lock gate took the below video of geese on the Ashton Canal.
Taking 3 videos today brought my tally for YouTube videos to 25! Next week I'll post my top 5 videos with the most views! Think since I did my top 3 videos there will be a new number one!
Managed to keep still and quiet enough to photo 2 herons this time!
So enough for now! I'll let people view the videos and look at the photos below.

Congleton to Sutton Common BT Tower
Five hours of fitness this morning. Six weeks till the big FOUR O!!!
Decided to walk up to the Sutton Common BT Tower near Macclesfield. Initially did a bit or running then continued walking. On the way back along canal decided to try a bit more running!
Phone battery died near getting off the canal so next time I'll remember my portable battery!
Encountered more cows!!
Link below maps out where all the pics were taken, apart from stitch pic of the view from Sutton Common Tower of the Cheshire Plain.
