Tuesday 21st August
Distance: 8.5km; Ascent: 250m; Dry; with Martin, Sue and several others
Martin had an interesting evening walk planned near Marple this evening, which I decided to join him on. And so after meeting Martin, Sue and others at The George around 7:30pm this evening, we set off walking through Etherow Country Park.

A permissive path up through the woods brought us to a bridleway, which we followed uphill to reach Werneth Low Country Park, where signs warned us that summer was dangerous!

We followed a traversing path on the north side of the hill to reach the war memorial and viewpoint indicator, where we stopped for a break to admire the views. By now it was definitely dusk and my camera struggled somewhat with the low light, but here are a few of my better shots:

We returned back to The George by a different route for a bit of variety, even though it did involve losing the footpath towards the end of the walk! We reached the pub just before 10pm and headed inside for a welcome drink after a good evening's walk. Martin's account of the evening, which was written up somewhat earlier than this, can be found
