This Lymm 2022 cycle ride represented the first time Stockport Community Cycling Club members were meeting together following the sad death of our remarkable club leader, Jim Court. It was kind of apt that Gill and I were leading the two rides. We joined the club on the same ride, we are two of the longer serving members, and for us both, the contribution of Jim has significantly impacted our lives. It was a fine Saturday morning when we met…
I may not be cycling at the moment as I recover from my hip op, however, following the success of my planning last Sunday’s group ride to Knutsford, I once again plotted the route. This time to Dunham Town. There were three of the team – Sarah, Andy S, and Tracey – who met at Bramhall Library on a cool but sunny Sunday morning.

We have cycled in the Dunham Massey parish many times without ever actually visiting Dunham Massey itself. We decided to go for a walk through the Deer Park. Initially this proved to be a popular path to follow. Dunham Massey has the enviable reputation…
