This Weeks Route:

Etherow Country Park Circular

I have saved this walk for public consumption. Anyone can follow the route using the OS app, providing you have a registered account (Free) in future.

A reasonable turnout this week saw fine weather but a chill breeze, we followed the route as shown, which gave us great views of Derbyshire on the way up, and from the top of Werneth Low we had a great view of the Tameside Area (including the bright yellow IKEA). We routed back

through the park and migrated to the Norfolk Arms Pub in Marple Bridge to meet Jock and Milly.

Next week’s walk will be led by Russell, starting at the The Ship Inn, Styal, SK9 4JE. 9.40am meet.

Parking is on the lane at the side of the pub outside the Country Park.

Happy Wandering!
