The advanced party? 
Getting ready to leave our lunch spot.Walk stats: Distance:10.9 miles; Climb:495'.
Time: 4 hours 55 minutes; On the move walking average: 2.6 m.p.h.; Overall walk average: 2.2 m.p.h.
Group:Martyn, Richard, Roger, Sue and Michel, Fran and Tito, Celia, Tim,Annie H, Sylvia and Dave J., and Georgie the Jack Russell.
In today's conditions this walk didn't have a lot to offer, but at least we had a little bit of Sunshine at lunch where a fallen tree provided suitable places to sit. However to cheer us up, Sue P provide Parkin, Sylvia provide her cake and Annie provided chocolate biscuits, all devoured with relish.
The only other event of the day was two very friendly horses greeting us at one of the stiles, making crossing the stile and the field a nervous experience for some.
Birds seen or heard today included:Long-tailed tit, Robin, Blackbird, Great-crested grebe, Mallard, Dunnock, Housesparrow, Blackbird, Coot, Jay, Fieldfare, Chaffinch and Buzzard.
after walk drinks were enjoyed at the Lord Eldon in Knutsford, where Norther Jewell was the beer quaffed by most of us. (Dave and Sylvia missed out, they sent a text saying that they got "lost" and had gone straight home in the rain!
