The writing of Thursbitch

Those who came along on the “Return the Valley of the Demon” walk yesterday may be interested in the longer article that formed the basis of my short talk:

This website is occasionally down so a PDF of the article can be found for download from here.

The book is available online from Amazon – consider a used copy?

 

Launch of the 2017 festival

The leaflets and website are officially launched today. A list of all the walks (in September) can be found on the Walks page. New for this year are some walks organised using coach and bus. This allows us to get to new areas with the mid and long distance walks. The beer celebration walk has historically not been much more than a fun short pub crawl. This year we’re upping the ante with a much more challenging walk over the hills to Wincle brewery. The other coach trips are a joint journey dropping off at the Cat & Fiddle (shorter) and then onto Buxton (longer). The final experiment is to catch the 392 bus from Bollington to near Lyme Park.

Because some of these events cost money, we’ve implemented a new ticketing system this year so book early!
