We unfortunately picked the only wet day of the week to embark on one of our occasional short walk/lunchtime meal events. Twelve of us including one new member set out from Marple via Marple Lakes and up to Mellor church where unfortunately we were not treated to much of a view. We then proceeded down to Mill Brow and on to Lane Ends above Marple Bridge.  Here we went into the Lane Ends pub and indulged ourselves in the £1 menu. Ian and Rosmary joined us for the meal.We were thoroughly entertained by the landlord who is quite a comedian. Afterwards the party split into two with half walking straight back to Marple and the others continuing through Linnets Clough to complete the walk.
