The Bolton section of the CTC’s Annual Christmas lunch sounds like a proper bunfight, and is the focal point of today’s journey, But that is too straightforward a plan for Charlie, he has to add miles of detours, a hike to the top of a local landmark and eventually a solo run home, just to book some extra miles in. His lunchtime diet is of particular interest, but hardly a recommendation from an athlete, I think. And I never knew that Prestbury harboured a Bishop’s house !
