A new Spunch venue and area centred on the excellent Tree Tops Cafe, conveniently located to allow exploration of this much-greener-than-you-might-expect area! Though it is not hilly, (although Chorlton "mountain" is an option!) you will find plenty to keep you interested in Manchester & Trafford's nature reserves. Perhaps you will visit Priory Gardens - the first home of Manchester's Mummy? There's loads of good running, walking and navigating, on great multi-surface trails through diverse environments!
Even locals may discover parts that they don't normally reach!
Everything is at or near the cafe event centre. Food and drink from the cafe after your run / walk, to be enjoyed either indoors or outdoors (weather permitting). Ample and convenient parking all within 5 mins walk of the event centre.
With 100+ Spunchpoints to go for, and a 3 hour option to consider, could you get the lot?!
Hope you will come along and give it a go.
