A different view of Bosley Cloud. 
A view of Croker Hill and the Sutton Common transmitter, but whose the poser?

Weather forecast for the day was quite optimistic, in fact it was really good. Until lunch time we were in bright sunshine all the way round and the views from the summit of Bosley cloud were superb in all directions. Lunch was very civilised as we used the picnic tables available at Timbersbrook. An added bonus at lunch today were the mince pies created by Margaret, but supervised by Roger we understand! Celia said you have to make a wish when you have the first mince pie, Dave J. merely said "I wish I had Two!".
The afternoon walk undertaken in less sunny conditions, but still dry was a little less challenging, except for the muddy/watery sections and the fact that at one point the walk description said turn right when the left was the right answer!
Nevertheless we all arrived back at the car, having enjoyed a really lovely winter whimps walk!
Birs seen or hrad today included: Bullfinch) as far as I am concerned always the bird of the day!), Carrion crow, Rook, Black-billed magpie, Jay, Robin, House sparrow, Mallard, Blue tit, Great tit, Long-tailed tit, Pied wagtail, Nuthatch, Fieldfare, Redwing, Kestrel, and Buzzard.
After walk drinks were enjoyed at the Farmers Arms at Kelsall. The beers enjoyed were Cains Bitter (a little on the cold side as is the pub!) and Weetwood Old Dog.
