This is a walking group for those who enjoy walking in the Cheshire countryside and are capable of walking around 4 to 7 miles, possibly with some low hills / gradients and some stiles. We fall between the Strollers and the Striders walking groups, hence the name. Walks typically take 2 to 3 hours and can involve public footpaths, canal paths, tracks and roads. Summer walks can be hot and dry, winter walks cold, muddy and very wet. We walk in all weather !
The usual start time is 10am and we meet in pub car parks, public car parks or at the side of the road. Our walks are almost always within 45 minutes of Tarporley. We sometimes have a drink or lunch in a pub afterwards but this is entirely optional and we do not do group bookings.
Health and Safety is very important to us but you walk under your own risk. We will try to describe the walk as accurately as possible before the walk day but only you know what you are capable of. Dress according to the weather. Comfortable, waterproof walking boots are essential. Take a rucksack and flask of water on a hot day. Take walking poles if they help you. Since we live in Cheshire you can't always avoid fields with cows in them. Or horses or sheep. If you are worried then talk to your walk leader.
This group is currently run as a collective. The group coordinator performs the admin, but the group members organise the walks. After joining the group and walking for a few months you should think about leading a walk in future. There is very little to it apart from knowing which way to go. If there are no volunteers for a particular date then that walk will be cancelled.
