It has become a tradition for Congleton C.C. to do a walk on New Years Day. This year 25 walkers including one dog, Bertie a black Labrador, completed a circuit of Rudyard Lake. We walked in an anticlockwise direction starting from the Rushton Spencer end of the lake. Blessed with good weather with a good deal of sunshine, fine views over the lake were enjoyed. At one narrowing of the path a number of mountain bikers were temporarily held up by the group, leading to an odd situation of cyclists being delayed by a pedestrian cycling club! The walk of about 5 miles was followed by lunch in the Knott Inn at Rushton Spencer which is run by a relative of club member Bob Banner.
