Welsh Borders Day 7 – Chester to Stockport

Welsh Borders Day 7 – Chester to Stockport

Starting from Wilmslow Leisure Centre we headed out through Ollerton, Lach Dennis and Rudheath. We skirted the edge of Northwich and weaved (appropriate since we were next to the River Weaver) our way through Neumann’s Flashes which forms part of Marbury Country Park.       Lunch was at the café at Anderton…
