Ringley, Dec10th
Walk Leader: Adrian Houghton
No on walk: 7 + 1 dog
Distance: 10.5 miles
Weather: Damp but quite mild with rain later
Seven of us set off from Forrest bank car park through Drinkwater park and then on to the 13 arch viaduct. We then crossed the motorway and along the old railway line for a good while until we reached a sculpture which was a large chunk of stone on the Irwell trail. Then through muddy fields to Ringley where lunch was taken in the church yard.
We set off and crossed the river over an old footbridge and passed a large substation and continued on to Clifton marina where there were some nice wood carvings which made up for the lack of sculptures on other bank.We continued back on the Irwell trail to the cars in the rain but in good time.
