Today was the start of the Gritstone Trail and it proved to be a far more scenic and interesting walk than the previous two trails. I was joined today by a friend who is providing me with accommodation for a few nights in Macclesfield. The views today were at times outstanding and from the summit of 'The Cloud' we had great 360 degree views that included Jodrell Bank and Kinder Scout. Towards the end of the day, we lost the Gritstone Trail signs and head for the village of Wincle, where we enjoyed a beer before being picked up by my friends wife.The weather wasn't the greatest as it was quite cold with occasional showers but this didn't detract from a really enjoyable walk. Tomorrow, I will be following the remainder of the Gritstone Trail alone as I head towards the Pennine Way.
