-UK Outlook for Tuesday 1 May 2018 to Thursday 10 May 2018:
Most of the UK can expect dry and fine weather on Tuesday, though temperatures will probably stay a little below average, and a few showers may affect the south-east. It is likely to cloud over from the west during the day, with rain arriving in Northern Ireland later, and recahing the rest of the UK overnight and into Wednesday. Changeable weather will continue during the first few days of May with brisk winds and spells of rain at times, but there will be a few drier and sunnier spells too, particularly in the south from next weekend onwards. Temperatures will tend to recover gradually to near-normal or even a little above normal in the south but stay rather cool in the north, so overnight frost remains possible here.
UK Outlook for Friday 11 May 2018 to Friday 25 May 2018:
A dry and bright spell of weather with light winds may develop at the start of this period especially in the north, bringing above-average temperatures. However, confidence in this aspect of the forecast is low. Mixed weather with showers or longer periods of rain remain possible. In fact, there is a signal for a greater number of heavy showers than usual in the south, perhaps including thunder at times. Where the weather does become wet and windy, temperatures will drop down to average or a little below.-

................................climbing from the reservoirs near Langley, outside Macclesfield, to Teggs Nose (Café there with seats outside!) Incredible views on this walk – both around the reservoirs and high on the edges – we saw Herons (at the Trentabank heronry) Tufted ducks, Buzzards and Great Crested Grebe as well as some enormous fish! There is a 160 metre climb – BUT it is gradual and using the “Saddlers Way” (which is an old packhorse route from Cheshire to the Pennines - used to bring salt from Cheshire, wool, coal, stone and cloth)– this route is cobbled, and really good underfoot, it seems an easy climb – and a cup of tea awaits at the top, together with stunning views over the reservoirs and farms down in the valley and over the Cheshire Plain! (and there are lots of seats to rest awhile, and enjoy the view!)
On the horizon --Shutlingsloe (“The Cheshire Matterhorn”) – this is an unusual (for the area) shape – during the last ice age 20,000 years ago this whole area was covered in thick ice – but the top of Shutingsloe was high enough to stick through the ice – so it was not eroded, like all the surrounding hills!
Teggs Nose Quarry - an old millstone grit quarry, is an interesting "rabbit warren" of paths and some fine, preserved engineering and geological features.
Near the start/finish - The Leather’s Smithy Pub - Dating from the 18th century, was formally a smithy - and gets its name from William Leather, a local farrier who, in 1821, obtained a licence from the Macclesfield Justices, to sell ale and porter as well as running the smithy!
