1. This is a survey of Midhol Two, walking from Middlewich to Holmes Chapel. Opposite the church in Middlewich, the path goes through here to the canal. 0.1 km from start — 29 Aug 2021
2. The route along the canal is mostly clear and easy. 0.2 km from start — 29 Aug 2021
3. As you start to pass the locks, the path is quite steep, about 20% 0.4 km from start — 29 Aug 2021
4. It also becomes uneven. 0.5 km from start — 29 Aug 2021
5. You then have to cross the canal at the lock gate, which involves either a step or negotiating the grass. 0.5 km from start — 29 Aug 2021
6. You then have to get past the arm of the lock gate. 0.5 km from start — 29 Aug 2021
7. But there is an easy bridge. 0.5 km from start — 29 Aug 2021
8. But a flight of steps on the far side to get down from the canal. (I haven't investigated whether it is possible to cross on any of the other locks here and avoid steps.) 0.5 km from start — 29 Aug 2021
9. Across the road the path heads into an industrial area. 0.5 km from start — 29 Aug 2021
10. It then narrows to cross underneath the railway. 0.6 km from start — 29 Aug 2021
11. There is a width restriction underneath the railway bridge. 0.6 km from start — 29 Aug 2021
12. The path continues through the industrial area and on reaching the road here, crosses straight over, diverging from route Midhol One. It continues through developing industry, with kissing gate ahead. 1 km from start — 29 Aug 2021
13. The path is directed through the development area, but is not without obstacles. 1.4 km from start — 29 Aug 2021
14. The path is currently clear but narrow. 1.4 km from start — 29 Aug 2021
15. Where the route has been cleared, the debris has been left beside the path narrowing the access. 1.5 km from start — 29 Aug 2021
16. This stile is a simple by-pass. The route here turns left. The OS map indicates that the path used to go straight ahead. It has been diverted around the new industrial developments. The new route is clear. 1.6 km from start — 29 Aug 2021
17. Route follows fence. The camber across the path is irregular and up to about 30% dipping down to the left. 1.7 km from start — 29 Aug 2021
18. Path then turns right, to head back towards its original route, passing between two fences. Was beginning to get a bit overgrown but nowhere near as bad as the Dane Valley Way on Route Midhol One. 1.8 km from start — 29 Aug 2021
19. Kissing gate takes you out to an estate road 2 km from start — 29 Aug 2021
20. The estate roads are quiet. 2.1 km from start — 29 Aug 2021
21. Another kissing gate takes the path into a field to pass the final industrial area. 2.2 km from start — 29 Aug 2021
22. A bridge over the stream has obstacles at either end and the path turns right to follow the stream through fields 2.3 km from start — 29 Aug 2021
23. Path through long grass 2.3 km from start — 29 Aug 2021
24. This stile has no access for dogs 2.4 km from start — 29 Aug 2021

26. There were cows in the final field, though they did ignore us. 2.6 km from start — 29 Aug 2021
27. The path goes close to the house. To get to the stile it is potentially very muddy due to the drinking trough for the cows. 2.7 km from start — 29 Aug 2021
28. The path beside the house is quite overgrown, but a stile leads back to Midhol route one, at the road. 2.7 km from start — 29 Aug 2021
29. A second stile takes you onto the road. 2.7 km from start — 29 Aug 2021
30. The rest of the route is largely on quiet minor roads. 2.8 km from start — 29 Aug 2021
