Introduction<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

I am delighted to be out of self isolation and to be Covid-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s been 3 weeks since my last walk, and it felt good to be out in the countryside again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The walk is approximately 7 miles with 990ft, 300m, of ascent to tackle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The weather was dull, very windy, but quite warm for the time of year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Danebridge is a very popular starting point for walkers. It is about 40 minutes from Cheadle Hulme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The walk took about 3 hours 15 minutes, plus a 20 minute lunch stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This walk is in livestock farming country, so not great for dog walking, though no significant road sections to worry about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The walk is on OS Explorer Map OL24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The start is on the bridge at Danebridge, adjacent the Wincle Microbrewery, postcode SK11 0QE. Hard to believe you get a Stockport postcode all the way down here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I headed off downstream on the Cheshire side of the river, past this sign and the brewery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I took it slowly, stopping to enjoy the bobbing and diving of the dippers, the flitting around of the grey wagtails, and the beautiful autumnal trees along the river banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
