Harris Hikers Chester Branch: An Upton, Guilden Sutton, Christleton Round. Wednesday 28th Octobeer 2020

An Upton, Guilden Sutton, Christleton Round.
The only photo available - I was hoping someone had taken one of Newton Hollows!
Distance: 8.2 miles from Kingsway but as most walked there from homes in Upton, more like 10 miles. Climb 150 feet
Time: 4 hours including lunch.
Despite the forecast the weather was not that bad and the feedback has been good so far. Not sure thought that I could cope with the stress of doing it every week! Hopefully we can soon resume your walks in Wales.
Sue and Michel had colds, and Celia a painful hip so in the end there were only 5 of us started and Sue P only did the initial Greenway section. No drinks afterwards, though we went close to Harkers!

+It was a good day. I set off in full wet weather gear which soon proved to be unnecessary. Apart from a few spots after lunch it was dry. The mud between Littleton and Christleton had to be seen to be believed. All good stuff!

Shame about your lack of a pint Nigel; I would have joined you... and ought a bag of crisps too.
