Another one bites the dust…
“The Roaches and Hen Cloud from Tittesworth” sold out…
Blackden Trust: Alan Garner’s Medicine House sold out
Three more weeks until the start of the festival!
7pm return from Old Hall beer festival sold out
But there are still places on the 5pm return which gives you ~2 hours at the beer festival.
Random Apple walk sold out
But plenty more walks available, many that don’t require booking.
Fool’s Nook by Narrowboat sold out
Sold out I’m afraid… popular again!
Ramble to Shrigley Hall for Tea and Cake sold out!
By ‘eck – that was popular. One wonders whether it’s a lovely walk or the cake that has made it so popular.

Not long now folks!
It’s not long now everyone until the walking festival kicks off this weekend. Join us for a soft launch at the Poachers Inn on Friday evening where you can meet some of the team and talk about the walks over a drink.
Whilst it might be a bit blustery today, the weather for next week is looking lovely. Fingers crossed. There are still a few tickets left for the coach trip walks this weekend:

The first is a 7 mile walk back from Whaley Bridge. The second is a longer 13 mile walk from Hayfield over Chinley Churn. The views from the later will be spectacular if not a little windy 🙂
There are also a couple of tickets left for the “Working up a Thirst” walk and visit to Torrside Brewery. This is a 10 mile walk – it says “Strenuous” but it’s not that bad! Gradual climb up to the Bowstones Ridge and then it’s *mainly* downhill, well apart from Black Hill. The bus returns to Bollington at 4:30pm and 5:30pm. There isn’t a tour at the brewery – we’re just there to enjoy the beer. But book soon as the last few tickets will soon go for this fun event:

See you all over the next week!
