"Matterhorn of Cheshire"

With a few days off work I took the opportunity of some fantastic autumn weather to do one of my favourite runs from Teggs Nose to Shutlinsloe, which at just over 500 metres up is the second highest point in Cheshire and a very long way away from the plain!

This run is just over nine miles and is usually a solitary one but the sunny weather and possibly one of the last "good" days before winter was the chance for many walkers to be out on the hills and getting in my way! It took over an hour to get to the summit and forty five minutes back over Forest Chapel (pictured and dating from 1673) but was a glorious one despite the tough climbs and descents, and I finished still feeling quite fresh and ready for the day ahead.
