10 of us set out this morning to undertake a 6.5 mile hike ( according to Phil) in the village of Mow Cop. This is an isolated village which straddles the Cheshire–Staffordshire border, and is divided between the North West and West Midlands regions of England. Atop the hill is a folly, which was the subject of a bitter dispute between two rival land owners several hundred years ago. From the NT car park we followed part of the Gritstone trail, and sampled some of the finest walking in Cheshire. Had it been a clear day we would have had stunning views in all directions from the gritstone ridges abutting the Cheshire plain. Sadly the heat haze obscured many distant landmarks but we were able to see the Lovell telescope at Jodrell Bank very clearly. Continue reading →

Thurs.5th July and it’s our final morning before the summer break.  It was held at Marie’s, our Group Leader’s house.  We all gathered together – but no easy day for us! Marie had worked as hard as ever to challenge us and we all had to “get translating”  A pleasant morning with good company, our group is really special.  We had  lovely cream cakes and Tony (Snape that is) did us proud with a beautiful home made ginger cake – delicious!  As a group we thanked Marie most sincerely for all her hard work and for creating such a lovely working atmosphere.  Will see you in September – maybe we will all have done some homework??? Have a great summer.
