The Area & Course
An overdue return to Congleton but this time we will head South and West. About 50/50 on-road and off-road trails. You might take the low hanging fruit in the town centre before heading west riverside along the Dane. Keep your eyes open for the otter(s)... You will probably explore the network of park & woodland paths around Astbury Mere and longer distance merchants will head out even further west.
Lots of route choice and lots of undulating and less undulating options at this one. Good running / walking on a mixture of underfoot conditions from tarmac to off-road paths*. There will be something for everyone and even locals will likely discover new paths and places!
Hope you will come along and give it a go.
