Macclesfield Forest 2 August 2011

After a bit of a drizzly afternoon, the sun came out and we enjoyed a warm sunny outing in Macclesfield Forest and some lovely views over Trentabank and Ridgegate reservoirs. As we congregated outside the Leather's Smithy waiting for everyone to arrive, a very cute puppy and his owner joined us. The puppy was only 4 months old and was so fluffy, he was just like a cuddly toy imititation. They had just returned from their walk and the owner was saying how beautiful it was; so on impulse the planned route was revised according to her instructions. We ended up making some quite steep ascents, but were rewarded by fantastic views. Only problem was we were not sure of a quick way back to the pub, so those joining us for a drink were well established and halfway through their drinks by the time we made it to the bar.
