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.

Not a bad turnout this week, for a nice walk on a sunny day taking in the viaduct at Chapel Milton, and stopping for Pie time at the top of Eccles Pike. We lost Hughie and Greg along the way but managed to find them at Buxworth Basin.

Next week’s walk will be led by Chris, meeting at Sutton Hall, Macclesfield, SK11 0HE, 9.40am start and back to the Hall for drinks around 1-1.30pm.

Happy Wandering!
