Chadkirk and Canal

Today I ran through the estate and down Marple Hall Drive to the new zig zag path down to the Goyt. I am pleased that the new bridge over the river was completed last year as it makes a nice shortish circular route that is largely off road. It was bitterly cold but I could  see that the bluebells are starting to push through in the woods and there are plenty of daffodils coming up in the walled garden by Chadkirk Chapel. A treat for a nice Spring day.
I finished the run along the canal and over the aqueduct and up to lock 7. I stopped off at the allotments on the way back to see what work Steve has done preparing the ground. It is all coming along very nicely.
