9.30 Standing Stones car park, Macclesfield Forest.
A ~2 hour run around the foothills of Shutingsloe and beyond. It could be a bit wafty and wet so bring some good gear.
The view to Shutingsloe.
And afterwards in the Macclesfield Garden Centre, Bullocks lane for tea & cakes or whatever you fancy.
If travelling by car, the Standing Stone car park is reached as follows: Drive out of Macc town centre along the Buxton road (A537). Pass through the village of Walker Barn. Take the unmarked road off to the right on a left hand bend shortly after Walker Barn. At a T junction, turn right. On a left hand bend, turn right (the Stanley Arms pub is on the left here) - this is signposted to Wildboarclough. Take the next right (signposted to Forest Chapel). Do not take the right turn to Forest Chapel, but continue straight on. The Standing Stone car park is on the right.
