Made the most of the nice weather today with a walk around Alderley Edge. The village itself is WAG territory, but there's a nice place owned by the National Trust that is great for walks. There are old mines riddled through the hillside, including an old copper mine that you can visit on certain days.
This water was coming through the rock, and clearly has been for a while judging by the old stone trough underneath:
One of the mine entrances:
An open seam:
And finally a panorama from one of the viewpoints (looking North - Manchester is towards the left):
I felt like I thoroughly deserved my BLT and chips after all the ups and downs![Cheers :cheers: :cheers:](/styles/default/custom/smilies/cheers.gif)
