An Upton - Christleton Round 31st March 2021

 

HARRIS HIKERS – CHESTER BRANCH

Walk Report Wed 31st March 2021

 

The group before heading for  Manning Lane..

Walkers:

Fran

Wendy

Mike

Paul (first hour or so)

David S (leader)

 

8½ Miles; 200 Ft.; 4 Hrs.

 

The objective was to walk to Christleton Pond for lunch and then return by a different route.  This was achieved with the only variation being the addition of a loop along the canal at Christleton to avoid arriving at the lunch spot embarrassingly early,

The weather was warm and still, only the second warm day this year.

It was a reasonable restart to walking  after the restrictions of lockdown.

 

Photos attached.

 

Those who walked to the start can add 2-3 miles.

Actually, we set off along Mannings Lane and returned by the Greenway. Doesn't really matter!
