9.30 Bullocks Lane, Sutton, Macclesfield, Cheshire SK11 0HE
Park in Bullocks Lane by the canal bridge No. 44 A ~2hour run off-road in the snowy landscape of tracks and fields.
Daily Telegraph photograph winner, Mark Helliwell from Macclesfield. His photograph was taken at Higher Sutton near Macclesfield. He says "I was particularly struck by the line of trees and sweeping shape of the dry-stone wall, all leading towards the tower"
We were thinking about going to Flash but as it will be so slushy, cold and wet underfoot not even the caff there can make up for it. So best to stay local which will make the driving easier as well in the event of more snow.
