I just wanted to update you, in the light of the new Government guidelines from the beginning of June and also let you know that Tatton Park has reopened the parkland to cars, cyclists and walkers. I said last month that I was not planning any Nordic walking in June, but with the introduction of the …
Review of February Walks
Well what can I say: Wellies would have been the more appropriate footwear for all of the February walks. I would just like to say a massive thank you to you for turning out to paddle around Tatton and the rest of Cheshire with us this month. Looking at the rainfall figures for the North …

Review of October Walks
I thought we would have had to do a fair amount of paddling on our October walks, however its not been too bad. We’ve managed by amending some of the routes to do more tarmac rather than fields. Redesmere and Capesthorne was OK, Styal was interesting in places; we avoided Peover Woods when we did …
September’s Walks – Review
The September Adventure walks have been excellent. Much better weather than August, however some of the routes have been very adventurous, and more like an Amazon jungle trek than the normal Cheshire countryside that we are used to! The nettles and brambles have gone bonkers and there have been some nasty horseflies around. TOP TIP …

However, it didn’t take Ian long to persuade her to …

Cows and Nordic Walking
I recently received this photo in the post which made me laugh out very loud. I think everyone knows just how much we love walking through a field with cows in... We do try to organise our walks to be cow-less but sometimes it is unavoidable and we have to walk close to them. I …
Ilam and Dovedale Walk review
July, 2019 Well what can I say! The sun shone, the views were lovely, the cakes delicious in fact the whole day was ‘off the scale' – 20 out of 10! We started by climbing up onto the moor which rewarded us with far-reaching 360 degree views then slowly descended through a narrow valley called …
Llangollen Day Walk, June 2019
WOW! We thought the Anglesey Day walk was going to be hard to beat but our day out to Llangollen was magnificent. Having said that, just as we were finishing breakfast and preparing to head off along the canal, a hailstorm blew through the valley making the view look worryingly wintery. As usual though the …
