A Quick blog to record the 2nd Stage of the Greater Manchester Ringway.
The only complexity is paying public transport to get there. It is possible to buy a combined Train/Tram ticket but Swinton is an unmanned station and the ticket machine does not sell them. Somehow, I have a Photo ID SystemOne Card but absolutely no idea how to use it. The sooner the King of the North sorts out integrated ticketing in Mancester, the better.
Alight at Sale Water Park - where all of this walk follows the nascent River Mersey. Broken bridges stopping access to the correct side of the water for the official route but either side will do.

A bit of woodland. A bit of parkland, through Fletcher Moss Gardens. Nothing to photograph, until we reach the end. One day, the finale to all my walks will be a Good Beer Guide Pub. A Good Beer Guide Pub that you access via its own staircase.

They are very proud of their Good Beer Guide status. And why wouldn't they be? A delightful Moorhouse Straw Dog that was even cheaper than the advertised £2.10 when included in a meal deal.
