The Current Programme


Greenwalks: Late Autumn 2006

Greenwalks offer a chance to walk with others in superb countryside. We are not a walking club as such … the best way to describe it is that we are a group of people who meet up now and again for casual walking. The walks are based in the Macclesfield area and there will be a leader for each walk. We use local buses and follow point-to-point walks. Bring a small snack for a break but if the opportunity arises we’ll call into a local pub en route or at the end. Walks are usually on the last Sunday of the month or the Sunday before.
