Venue: Outdoor venue

  • We aim to cover 3 to 4 miles, reasonably level ground with fair surfaces, and we try to avoid styles where possible (but some are inevitable).
  • Most walks are fairly local to Wilmslow, and we generally meet near to the planned starting point, but shared transport arrangements may be possible. Please contact Group Leader Sheila Cookson if you would like to offer or accept a lift.
  • There are at times styles, and the path can be muddy so please wear appropriate footwear and bring sticks if you use them.
  • Boots or strong shoes are advisable. and bring sticks if you use them.
  • We usually arrange to go for lunch somewhere afterwards.
