Overview

The walk leader is Sheila Horgan, if you have any questions about the walk please call Sheila on Tel. ‭07598 385734‬.

Please join us on a wonderful evening walk of 4 miles.  It starts at Nelson Pitt walking through to Lyme park. After one mile we take a turn to walk through the forest towards Westgate Lodge.

From there we walk towards Macclesfield canal and return to Nelson Pitt.

This is a flat waIk with spectacular views if the weather holds up. 

If people want to join me we will go to the Boars Head pub for a drink afterwards, due to finish walk around 9 pm.
