Overview

We will take the canal then over the A56 on safe crossings to Stretford meadows. We will cross the meadows to the Transpennine Trail, and onto the Mersey at the Riverside Cafe where we will have a coffee stop. There are Portaloos available at the cafe. We return to the A56 and take the Kickety Brook path back via Stretford Cemetery.
