Before today I just had about a third left to do of the Cheshire Ring Canal Walk. After getting the train to Manchester I set off for Lymm, distance of approx 14 miles.
Time taken approx 4 hours 15 minutes.
Walking down Canal Street to get onto the canal was deadly quiet, don't think it would of been 7 hours earlier! (around 7:30amish set off)
Wasn't happy! with the lack of grips on my walking boots on the damp cobbles and canal path in the centre of Manchester. Thought if was going to be like that all the way to Lymm was going to be a long day indeed!
Geese! are my new ducks, stopped to take quick bit of video of some at Castlefield Locks.
Once out of Castlefield I approached Old Trafford footy ground. Pics and video taken for any Manc Reds out there!!
Stretford followed by Sale, skirted past Altrincham before ending up in Lymm. Luckily the bus back to Altrincham was running late, a bit of a jog! and managed to catch it.
Need to remember to change distance on my Garmin watch next time as after 3 hours I'd covered 10.3 miles (last weekend's expected mileage for Northern part of Gritstone Trail)
So the finishing! line for the Cheshire Ring Canal Walk is in sight. Another 19 miles and I'll have walked all of the 97 miles :-)
