Four of us (plus Honey the Jack Russell) met 'early doors' and had a meal at The Ship Inn at Styal. The food was lovely and the portion sizes were very, very generous! As we sat chatting after the meal, others who were coming on the walk around the Styal estate joined us. We met the rest by the Norcliffe Chapel sign on the old Altrincham Road at 7pm.
In total, 10 of us set off for the walk plus Honey and Archie(a lurcher-Bedlington terrier cross).
Julie, John and Honey are frequent walkers around Styal, so they offered to take us on a circular walk they often use. It started along the side of Norcliffe Chapel heading into the woods, up and down some sets of steps, over a couple of bridges, coming out at one point along the side of the airport runway (where we stopped for a photo opportunity), returning back to the Norcliffe Chapel sign
90 minutes later. It was a lovely walk with everyone chatting and sharing anecdotes as we went along. We even had the opportunity to inspect some fencing which was done by some members of MNTV a couple of months earlier.
After our walk we all went into the beer garden at The Ship for a drink and a chat.
Thanks to everyone for coming along and, in particular, to Julie, John and Honey for sharing their walk with us.
