An Upton, Mickle Trafford and Stoak Round.
"No, I'm not lost, I've got a certificate in ......"
Fran on the Greenway near Upton-by-Chester.
Nigel at Stoak church.
Autumn leaves trapped on the Shropshire Union Canal.
Distance: 10.3 miles, climb 120 feet
Time: 4 hours including lunch
Those walking: Nigel and Fran
It was good to get out to stretch our legs on a mild day that threatened rain but never really delivered – only one slight shower towards the end. This was another local walk Nigel had put together during the last lockdown going up the Greenway to Mickle Trafford, followed by mostly road walking to Bridge Trafford where we picked up the North Cheshire Way. Here this follows the river Gowy and the fields were distinctly muddy, not the most attractive path in this season, but as Fran said kindly “it’s nice to do a walk from your own doorstep”. Arriving at Stoak we had lunch in the delightful churchyard before heading home via the Shropshire Union canal.
