Walk around the Roman Lakes at Marple - Sat 10th August 2013

It was a small turnout, just Sue and Ally, but we had a lovely walk from the Royal Oak at Mellor, setting off at 10.30am, along the edge of the Linnet Clough Scout camp and across the Mellor and Townscliffe golf course before dropping down to the path leading to the Roman Lakes. We stopped in the cafĂ© here for lunch after walking around the lakes admiring the wildlife which consisted of many families of ducks, coots and geese as well as a rabbit and a peacock.

The weather was kind to us, a little cool at times but dry for the entire walk.
It was a shame that more people didn't join us but I think the fact that it was during the holiday season meant that some people were away.
