We found a sheltered place for lunch and then carried on past Yewtree Farm and along Shellow Lane. A filed path then took us north past Clover Bank Farm and past the fishing pools to the start at Gawsworth Church. Many thanks to everyone for coming along on this breezy overcast day and dry day.

Map of our route

Twelve of us set off from Redesmere and followed the field paths and tracks alongside the lake and over the road to Capesthorne Hall. We then crossed Mill Lane and stopped for a coffee break by the wood and then continued across the fields to Siddington.

A short walk along the lane then brought us to the beautiful 16^th century All Saints Church where we stopped for our lunch. Afterwards we crossed the fields to Northwood Farm, then along the track to Marton Lane and through Heskey Wood and back across the fields to the start at Redesmere.

A lovely seven mile walk in nice sunny weather. Other members of the group were Ray, Sue P, Dave I, Wendy, Alan S, Derek, Judith,  Irene,  Kim, Eve, Susan M and the leader was David P.

Redesmere

Our route then took us along the valley past Spring House Farm to the quarry railway line where we discovered there were only eight of us. A quick established that Jo was missing. A quick phone call established that she was several hundred yards away having being delayed by another walking group at a  narrow path junction. A search party soon located her and she was quickly reunited  back to the group.

On reaching Hope Village we stopped in the Church Yard for our lunch and then followed the path alongside the the small river Peakshole Water and into Castleton where we stopped for Coffee and cake at a lovely Cafe on the main street, richly deserved after such an interesting walk with sunny periods during the day.  A short walk back along the road brought us back to the roadside parking by Treak Cliff Cavern. Walkers today on this seven mile walk were Judith, Dave I, Eve, Alan B, Peter F, Jo, Ray, Sue P and David P our leader

Seven of us met at Biddulph Grange. We went to the A527, turned south past the church, then across the road and down the footpath, across the valley, and up on to the old railway, south to Hollylane and then up the Staffordshire Moorland walk. We had coffee break halfway up to Cheshire Close. and then up to the viewpoint. We followed the Edge north east through Nick i' th' Hill to the end for lunch. A closed footpath rearranged the route down through Higher Whitemoor Farm to the road. Crossing the road we followed the footpath up to the Talbot, and back down to the cars.

Many thanks to Dave Ilett for leading this lovely six mile walk, other members of the group were Anita, Marylyn, Suzanne, Alan B, Alex and Peter. F

Seven of us set off from the car park on Lindow Common and followed the track across Lindow Moss and around the pool at Saltersley Hall Farm. After a short walk along Burleyhurst Lane we crossed the fields to Oak Farm, and then the fun started, we missed the first path to the runway so took the second path only to be thwarted by a flooded section too deep to paddle through, the third path seemed ok and we stopped for our coffee break on the edge of the runway watching the planes take off.

Alas the fun was not over as the muddy and sloping path caused numerous slips and slides and we eventually arrived a bit mud spattered on the tarmac road. We crossed the main road and entered Styal Woods and walked along the path alongside the River Bollin  with lots of steps up and down  on the river bank before stopping for lunch on a few fallen logs.

After lunch we continued along the various paths until we arrived at the busy Quarry Bank Mill. After a brief stop we continued along the North Cheshire Way and then after passing the Rugby Ground we walked through the Pownall Park estate and back the start at Lindow Common. A seven mile walk led by David P, others in the group were Wendy, Alan S, Dave I, Susan M, Anita and Sheila D.

An easy track up onto the moor where we stopped for our lunch with some great views over the surrounding countryside. Afterwards we continued along the track to Heild End Farm and then a steady walk along the busy A54 brought us to Blaze Farm where we stopped  to sample their delicious ice creams.

We then followed the track down into Wildboarclough and managed to cross a tricky bit of the flooded track and then up onto the lane. An easy walk along the lane heading south then brought us to Allmeadows where we joined a pleasant footpath for the walk back to Danebridge.

A lovely sunny seven mile walk which I think we all enjoyed led by David P, the rest of the walkers were Dave I, Anita, Alec, Chris J, Kim, Alan B, Wendy and Judith

Thirteen of us set off from Meerbrook and after passing the Church Hall we headed left over the fields to Franklin's Farm and onto Folly's Rest, along the road to Fould and then up the ridge to Gun, through New Zealand where sadly the St Bernard was bereft of his brandy barrel, past Wetwood and back to the cars, the drizzle providing company for the final stretch.

Our group of walkers were Eve, Irene, Jo, Judith, Kim, Marilyn, Susan, Wendy, Alan B, Alan S, Alex and Peter F with many thanks to Dave Ilett for leading this lovely seven mile walk.

We then followed the track down the hillside past Clough Head and through Buxton Brow Farm and past Hazelwood to Turners Pool where we stopped for lunch on the banks of the pool.

Afterwards a field path took us up to Nields Farm and Gun End House where we joined the lane and walked to Hawksley Farm. An easy track led us past Hollinhall to Gig Hall on the River Dane where we followed the Dane Valley Way back to the start at Danebridge.

A lovely scenic and sunny walk led by David Preston. Other walkers were Dave I, Sue M, Anita, Eileen S, Alan S, Judith, Jo, Marilyn, Eve, Anne M, and Rita.
