Parked on Penny Lane, just off Rainow Road. Walked up Rainow Road to Lidgetts Lane, and then took the public right of way / footpath from Lidgetts Lane up to the pillar on Kerridge Hill. Then walked across Kerridge Hill to the White Nancy. The White Nancy was built by John Gaskell of nearby Ingersley Hall in 1817 to mark the victory at the Battle of Waterloo. It was named Nancy after the lead horse that transported the building materials up the hill. It was originally built as a summer house, and had an entrance to a single room. However, the door was later blocked off after the building was vandalised during the early 20th century. The building was only painted white for the first time in 1925.

Ran the Bollington Dash (2.02 km/176 m) from the village green in Bollington to the trig pillar, obvious line. Short and sharp. A very popular ridge with the locals, White Nancy and the views are the reason. A very accessible trig from all directions and makes a perfect reason to do a circular walk. I lived in Bollington for several years and I gift this lovely trig to Belfields Village Bakery. Awesome bread and pies not bowed down to the fancy "new kids on the block" croissants etc.

2nd Trig south along The Gritstone Trail which you have to divert off the main Trail along the ridge to the pillar. To regain the Trail you can descent, as I did, down the east facing slope of the Kerridge Ridge, which is insanely steep. Similar views to the east and west as Sponds Hill except Manchester can't be seen, but Kinder Scout can.

Second of two trigs, walked up from the S and futilely looked for the trig near the quarry edge, only to walk to the more obvious higher ground further up the ridge. Great views W, so a great place for lunch. Saw planes landing at Manchester Airport, Jodrell Bank moving around and the Welsh Hills. Debated about the hills SW being the Wrekins. On to the White Nancy monument, all painted up celebrating the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo.

Parked on Church Ln / B5470 in Rainow and admired the beautifully kept gardens. Headed along the tarmac down into the valley and then back up through Brookhouse to Kerridge End. Kerridge Hill can then be accessed from Lidgetts Ln but the signpost for the PROW is hidden beneath bushes !! Take the drive on the right just as the lane begins to turn sharp left. The obvious PROW then steadily climbs to the top. Views are limited due to shrubs / trees until you reach the trig but it is worth the wait. Really contrasting scenery - rolling hills of the Peak District over to the East but urban sprawl of Macclesfield and Manchester on the Chesire Plains to the West. Trig looks to have been repaired on one top corner but it is starting to come away. Otherwise good condition with original cap with indented lettering and good coat of white paint. Continued along Saddle of Kerridge to White Nancy before descending steeply towards Bollington and following the Gritstone Trail round to the rather odd Savio House. Thereafter took PROW East through a field full of mellow cows to Oakenbank Ln and back into Rainow.

Last minute decision had us take the anti-clockwise route from Brookhouse to visit the Folly at Tower Hill first. Big Mistake! This meant we avoided Hurricane Katia until we reached the ridge at White Nancy, by which time it was laced with rain and hail. A wet and painful experience flavouring my report. And the pub is now closed!

Metal plug [indented letters]. Public. On a public footpath off the Gritstone Trail. Ascend steeply from Bollington to White Nancy, then make the fine ridge walk up to the trig. Pillar liberally whitewashed, including all metalwork! Thankfully, the graffiti 'artists' who have defaced White Nancy haven't yet got this far.
