Cown Edge track

The track to Cown Edge from Monks Road is very inviting with a wide view of Cheshire and Greater Manchester from the top.

Today it was too cloudy to bother going that far and near the end of the day a lot cooler than earlier so it was just a brief stretch of the legs on this occasion.

I watched all of Ed Milliband's speech at the Labour Party Conference on TV. I wonder how few people beyond the party faithful will have heard any of it or will hear anything of it. Is the Scotland Independence referendum going to be an exception or is the wider population really going to re-engage with politics?
