Ten
of us set off from Gawsworth on our first walk of 2023,
the weather was overcast with a cold wind. We headed
across the fields to Marton Lane and then took the track
through Walkersheath and along to Heskey Wood where we
stopped for a coffee break, then it was along the track
crossing Marton Lane again and past Tidnock Wood
We found a sheltered
place for lunch and then carried on past Yewtree Farm and
along Shellow Lane. A filed path then took us north past
Clover Bank Farm and past the fishing pools to the start
at Gawsworth Church. Many thanks to everyone for coming
along on this breezy overcast day and dry day.
Our group consisted
of Chris J, Alec J, Dave I, Chris R, Marilyn, Jo, Rita,

Route - Poynton Pool -
Hockley - Middlewood Way - Hagg Farm - Middlewood -
Station - New House Farm - Poynton Pool |
|
Eleven of us set off from Poynton Pool and followed the
field paths and tracks across to Hockley. We crossed the
lane and walked through the woods to the Middlewood Way
where we stopped for our coffee break. Then after a short
way up the lane we entered the wood and did not spot
the closed footpath sign until we encountered a closed
wonky footbridge. In the wood we eventually found a way
across as the water level was reasonably low were able to
cross both streams and reached the main path on the
opposite bank. We passed Hagg Farm and Throstlenest
Farm and once over the moor we found a sheltered place for
lunch. Then it was on past Platt Wood Farm and Middlescale
Farm and onto the canal towpath |
for a short way. We
entered Middle Wood and passed Middlewood Station. Once
over the rail line we headed to New House Farm and then it
was across the fields and back to the start at Poynton
Pool. Many
thanks to our walkers for coming along on the walk, our
group were Alec, Chris J, Dave I, Alan B, Wendy, Alan S,
Marilyn, Anne, Kim, Judith and David P our leader. |
