Andrew's Knob & Whiteley Green

The LOTSW group met near the old Cheshire Hunt pub for the first walk of 2011. As usual we were very lucky with the weather - cold and very sunny (Tony W and Andrew S glasses were dark most of the day).

Coffee and biscuits were provided by various members and so, fully nourished, we set off for the initial ascent of Andrew's Knob. There were several cries of "are we there yet" and "is it all uphill" but eventually the 'summit' (1145 feet above sea level) was reached with great views across to Kerridge Ridge and Alderley Edge.

We continued down towards Wood Lane marina and then along the canal to Whiteley Green where once again the world's haddock stocks were put under pressure by several team members.

A couple of beers, some strong coffee and an hour of 'putting the world to rights' soon passed and then we were back on our feet for the walk back to the starting point.



The next LOTSW walk will be in March/April time and 'hosted' by David - more details to follow when a date is finalised.
