Hello and welcome .
I have walked the TPT.
Only from West side of Altrincham bypassed Dunham Massey
to Heathly and LYMM village as Far as Thelwall ,
Near the Manchester ship canal .
But came back on the Bridge water canal for a change of scenery .
I know when you get to the outskirts of Altrincham Broadheath And Woodhouses
You will turn North (as opposed to going East) the TPN takes you to go NE beside Carrington spur before the M60 turn right onto the River Mersey path going South , believe it's the NCN 62 cycle path past Sale Water park, and Jackson's Bridge.
You will be following the River Mersey all the way past Northendon , Withington , DidSbury golf courses and Meander with the River which goes all the way alongside the M60 and come out in a trading estate at Junction (1) M60
At Travis Brow .
Your landmark is The Glassed Building The Pyramid .
About 1mile to Stockport town ,and further on the Station .
