Report written by Ben Foster
This evening, Ben ran the route #103 of the Relay Your Way to check for accessibility and if the public footpaths from Google maps actually existed in real life.
Starting from Didsbury library, the route goes past Didsbury Sports Ground, Withington Golf Club (well through the golf club...) before following the River Mersey round to Chorlton Water Park, Chorlton and Sale Golf Clubs, then Turn Moss playing fields before finishing in Longford Park near the athletics track.
Some of the sections were a bit narrow and the river bank rebuilding following the new year floods have made some of the paths quite rocky but generally, the route seemed OK, and even better when you know where you're going! Glad to have run the route to know what to look for come the event in mid June.
