I live near Macclesfield, but I work in Knutsford. I'm trying to think of any steep hills that would allow a San Francisco-esque chase. I think the best we could do is have a chase round Tatton Park and then swap onto rowing boats and have a chase on the mere. Are there any action films with rowing boat-based chase scenes? It would be hard to imagine some crates of chickens on the mere, or two people in 2 separate rowing boats, holding between them a large plate of glass for me to (slowly) crash through.
