A torch lit wander around the woodlands at Alderley Edge
Distance: 5km; Ascent: 150m; Mainly dry; with Martin, Sue, Andrew & Graham
This evening was the first of
Martin's evening walks that I had been able to make for sometime (and you can read his somewhat more prompt report
here). After a quick pre-walk drink at The Drum and Monkey we set off walking soon after 7:30pm firstly along a minor road before heading into the woods.

The Wizard's Well? |
We walked past The Wizard's Well and ascended to reach the edge at a rocky outcrop, with views over the twinkling orange lights below. Continuing along the edge for a short while we soon passed near to the Armada Beacon before crossing the road and entering the woods on the far side.

Whilst we took a brief break near the site of Hagg Cottages, Martin took the opportunity to snap the group photo above. I attempted to take a few low light shots, but didn't have a lot of success - I've included the best few below!

Heading back through the fields towards Alderley Edge town |
A wander through fields brought us into the edge of town, where we continued along cobbled lanes to return to the pub at around 9pm after a pleasant evening walk - thanks Martin :-)
