Itinerary description

[EN] Starting at Newtown and going to the Mellor Cross.
Then I went to Disley and just followed the canal to the starting point.

About Mellor Cross: In the early 1970s, despite some local opposition, the local churches together raised a wooden cross on the highest part of Cobden Edge. Each Easter there is a march with members from all the churches and a service held at the cross. (source)

[ES] Saliendo de Newtown y en dirección a la cruz de Mellor (Mellor Cross).
Luego fui a Disley i seguí el canal hacia el punto de salida.

Acerca de la cruz de Mellor: A principios de 1970, a pesar de cierta oposición local, las iglesias locales levantaron juntas una cruz de madera en la parte más alta de Cobden Edge. Cada Pascua se realiza una marcha con miembros de todas las iglesias y se celebra una ceremonia en la cruz. (fuente)
