Eclectic Ramblings

Ignoring the forecast bad weather we set off into Macclesfield forest from Trentabank carpark. Climbing through the tree lined paths the weather was sunny and we were sheltered from the wind. Once we emerged onto the open plain the biting wind cut into our comfort. As we walked along the stone path to the pimple, that is the Matterhorn of Cheshire, it started to hail/snow. The driving wind forced the hail like pins into a cushion into your face. However, only as we reached the peak did the weather vent its full fury. Facing the wind it was impossible to breath with the wind and hail jetting into you. It was very scary for a couple of minutes. We gradually managed to make our way down the slope.

On reaching the bottom of the hill we settled down to a cup of tea and baps filled with burger/bacon/eggs at Nice Nosh. Excellent food. If you have not tried it you really should. John specialises in local, quality sourced ingredients crafted into tasty snacks.
