Disley circular

Area Sunday Strenuous Walk.

Distances are over 10 miles.

Please note, the timing of this walk may have to be changed if, as is looking increasingly likely, the current emergency timetable being operated by Northern Rail is still in place. We will probably catch the earlier train leaving Piccadilly at 08.50. Please check this site nearer the date of the walk.

Please also note that there is major disruption to the tram services on this date. Further information can be found at www.tfgm.com
