Pup Obi Travels

Middlewood Way is part of an old railway line that runs from Marple down towards Macclesfield.  The Outwalk in March was to track part of the route down and come back via the canal which runs close to the railway line.  Two lines of transport used to transport goods and people during Victorian times.

The first leg of the journey crossed some fields before down a woodland strip to the rail-line.

The one benefit of such walking routes is that they are often flat and easy to walk, giving most people a chance to chat and meander together without climbing stiles and hills. But of course finding suitable lunch stops is never easy even along these pathways and with being wet and muddy we just have to take advantage of any spots we find.

Not sure what the structure is to the right of the path as we look over.  It is an impressive stone structure whatever it is.  Below however is the remains of one of the stations along the line which would have originally serviced the local community.  Only the platform remains of a forgotten past.

I am writing this post sometime after the event if I am honest and much of the route I have forgotten about sadly. Can only apologise for that. The photos give me and yourself an idea of where we went. Sadly I wish I could remember more about the route.
