"Discovering Bollington"

Since returning from the south of France the last week has seen me running back in more familiar surroundings including the track (racing in the 3K and 1500m at the Cheshire Track & Field League, both performances I intend won't be age bests!) Macclesfield Forest (including the Forest 5 trail plus Shutlingsloe on a cold, wet and misty early Sunday morning) but best of all a five mile mid-week run around Bollington (whilst Matt was rehersing with Bollington Brass Band) with the aim of following paths and alleyways that I have never used before.
So on a warm breezy evening I set off along the main street, climbed up through Kerridge before the short but sharp lunge bursting ascent up to White Nancy then back into the village picking out many undiscovered features of Bollington's industrial past. That's the great thing about running, you can pretty much go where you want when you want, and if you really try, experience new sights every time you run. This is certainly something I will do more often!

Annual mileage 687
