![]() Wastdale in the lakes - the easy and hard bits. |
![]() |
A new itinerary with some new walks - and some old favourites. Get some exercise - partners, friends and children are welcome, enjoy the scenery, chat to the others - aided by a lunch stop at a pub - without killing yourself or great expense. The walks are around 7-11 miles every third Sunday from September to June. Boots are a help but not essential. The hostel weekends have the option of harder walks for the more foolhardy.
When we use a coach (Ł5) it starts from Fujitsu Services West Gorton (MAN05), and if its in the right direction, picks up the bus stop on the A6 opposite the Rising Sun at Hazel Grove. You must confirm your booking on the coach to Andrew or Haydn 10 days before at the latest (ie Thursday week as late coach cancellations incur steep penalties). Otherwise we meet at the start of the walk for a 10am start.
If you have any questions or would like to come, please contact Eric Evans 7308 2472.
