Autumn has come to Dove Stone – photo is an unusual view of the reservoir from the East. Also knocked off a complete review of the Hoyles Park map.
Yesterday Gorse Hall. Today, Reddish Vale, Dove Stone (photo), Nuttall Park, Blackleach. Tomorrow Chorlton Water Park, Bramhall, Bruntwood.
Possibly the best smartphone orienteering app to date – MapRun. Check out the smartphones page – we have half-a-dozen of our most popular parks set up for it – Chorlton Water Park, Dove Stone, Heaton Park, Lyme Park, Sale Water Park, Wythenshawe Park.
