Rochdale Canal Stroll

After several wet, windy and gloomy days, we finally had a nice sunny one today. Lisa rang to ask me out for a walk but her mum turned up before we set off…

Power Walk/Stroll

A fast walk up the hill (13 minutes), a cafe stop with Lisa, and then a meander back down the hill via the Buttress to the shops.
