A peaceful four-mile run this morning before work—just me, the countryside, and the rising sun. I’m settling into my new job and having an extra day off each week is giving me more time and energy to train. June mornings like this are made for running: blue skies, warm air, quiet lanes, and fields full of life. Wet feet, thigh-high wheat, and a stretch along the canal made it one to remember. A perfect way to start the day—did you get out this morning? Make the most of every one, especially the stunners.

🌿 Take a Moment at Buckfast Abbey 🌿Just two minutes off the A38, this peaceful Benedictine monastery is the perfect rest stop on your way to Cornwall. Stroll through tranquil gardens, admire stunning architecture, and soak up over 1,000 years of history—and yes, you can even pick up a bottle of ‘Bucky’ while you’re there! 🍷⛪
We made a short stop and came away feeling completely refreshed.📍 Free to park, free to enter, and absolutely worth the detour.

Some photos from this week’s YouTube video. Starting from Ridge Quarry at Marpleridge which is located near Hawk Green at Marple, Stockport. We head down the ridge enjoying stunning views of Manchester. Next we drop down through the woods to the Peak Forest Canal and on to Strines road and the River Goyt at Roman Bridge. It’s not Roman, it’s a pack horse bridge dating from about 1700 which presumably allowed access to Mellor Mill. We follow the Cown Edge way for a while before heading back down into the valley to Roman Lakes. Built in the 18th century, these manmade lakes helped power Mellor Mill. After it was destroyed by fire, the lakes became popular as a Victorian Pleasure Park. Next we head under the rail viaduct which is quite something, it’s on the Manchester - Sheffield line. We pause by the sluices that used to feed the Roman Lakes from the river Goyt before heading back to Roman Bridge and heading back up the hill to the starting point.
