Running with the dog in and around my parents in Cheshire. The OS map said it was the Mersey Forest but there didn’t seem to be enough trees for a forest. Mostly fields of grass and Fresians, the latter taking a distinct dislike to the dog.

We came across this litle pond half way round the circular route, between Crowton and Acton Bridge. It was surrounded by cherry blossom and bull rushes, very picturesque. Stopped just for a photo and a drink before continuing back up the hill to Delamere. Total time just over the hour and 5.7 miles. Hey it’s a bank holiday.
