Tegg's Nose

**Markulous** · 16-08-2007, 07:53

Took a day out to Tegg's Nose Country Park (I just love that name!) just outside Macclesfield

#1 Looking towards Macclesfield Forest and Tegg's Nose from Cat & Fiddle pass

#2 Shadow
Sun in just the right place!

#3 Field of Sheep

#4 Flying a Kite
At the top of Tegg's Nose

#5 Ridgegate Reservoir
Heather was just beginning to put in an appearance. Transmitter on Sutton Common - from Tegg's Nose

Comments, good, bad or indifferent - all welcome!

Anyway never heard of the place myself

...first one the best for me with good fun use of the sun in #2

Me too!!

Looks a beautiful place, the names are just great "Teggs Nose", "Cat & Fiddle Pass"...

The first and the last are my favourites. The last one made so colourful by that gorgeous heather.

I love the shadow shot, that's some inside leg measurement

Like them all, but the last is my favourite, the eye leads through well from the heather to the tall thing on the hill & lots of interest in between. Andy knows the Cat & Fiddle pass, he enters a charity ride up it every year.

Many thanks for the comments! Appreciated!

Still haven't found an explanation for who Tegg might be (if it was Wales it'd turn out to be a giant!). Cat and Fiddle is close to being world famous, Ali - it's also a road that they close in the winter, if it snows. And it's named after the pub on the top - see below

Ahh, I'm guessing push and not motor, Sarah, (tho' plenty of both types of bike!). Rather him than me - that hill goes on forever!

Cat & Fiddle - you can just make out the name on the side of the building (but probably not the sign showing, guess what, a cat and a fiddle!)

Yes, pedal power Mark, it's a ride from Brian Rourkes cycles and is in aid of cystic fibrosis and is on every year, he does that one and the Oxford to Cambridge.

Ahh, sounds good (as in cause - but flippin' hard work!)

Yeah, Snake Pass is effectively the other, East, side - towards Sheffield

Ahhh, yes, it is indeed the turn for the 'rat run' - hadn't thought about it but the volume of traffic going that way makes sense!
