This has probably got to be the strangest walk the group will undertake and will definitely be the strangest walk the group will do more than once! Yes, this is the second time the group has ventured along the River Dean!
A brave few members from the festival photography group entered the river at the recreation ground and ventured up stream encountering various forms of flora and fauna on the way.
On the 22nd April we met at “the Crown” and decided to head towards Ingersley Vale to see the demolition work on the mill. Typically we got sidetracked by a footpath sign pointing in a direction that looked tempting and headed off into the unknown. The demolition work has made one part of the footpath impassable so we used our ingenuity and improvised. Eventually we made our way back past Savio House and back to the Poachers for refreshment. A very peaceful and pleasant walk.

The photography groups second walk of the season was short walk to White Nancy to catch the sun setting over the Cheshire plains and we had the perfect evening, being rewarded with a beautiful golden sunset. The walk started at the Bull’s Head pub in Kerridge, watching leaping spring lambs, before heading along Redway lane, the bridleway and up to the summit to catch the setting sun. Was quite busy atop White Nancy this evening!
Bollington Festival Photography had a highly successful day at the Bollington Arts Centre’s craft fair today! The stall manned by Thomas & Katherine Lewis sold a total of eleven prints, a few postcards as well as books in aid of The Alzheimer’s Society.
Many thanks to all the people who came in, chatted, browsed and especially those who bought!
For those of you interested in the Photography Groups photo walks follow bollyphotowalks on twitter and you will be alerted when our regular Friday Photo Walks start up again next spring.
Starting and finishing at the Rangers Station on Adlington Road, is a beautiful four mile walk taking in parts of the middlewood way, Canal, Kerridge Ridge, White Nancy and Bollington. As always with a walk to white nancy there are steep sections and the canal foot path can be pretty muddy given the local climate so please wear suitable footwear!
