As I continue my post-op hip recovery, I had planned a hilly and fairly challenging route. However, after looking at the inclement and changeable weather we decided a more straightforward short cycle ride around Stockport would be wise. This proved to be a good choice. So, after leaving Great Moor, we made our way along Lowndes Lane and past the Puss-in-Boots. A little further on we cycled through St Thomas Recreation ground. This park was opened in 1892 on land…
