May 4th & 5th - South Cheshire Way
Having resumed my hike after taking antibiotics and resting my leg, I continued the walk from Whitchurch, where I had caught the train to Stoke on Trent over a week earlier. For the last two days, I have been following the South Cheshire Way but this trail, as with the Maelor Way, while useful to link Offa's Dyke with the Pennine Way, has little to recommend it. So far, it has consisted mostly of farmland, field after field of calf deep grass, often with no obvious path. Yesterday, I walked 23.5 miles from Whitchurch to Crewe, today I did 14 miles to Mow Cop. The South Cheshire Way is done with now, tomorrow I start the Gritstone Trail which I hope will prove to be a more scenic experience.
