The Starting point is the Bowstones on Bowstonegate Road Disley BUT as this has limited parking we will meet at the Lay-by Mudhurst Lane on the left shortly before High Peak School when approaching from Higher Disley. (We’ll then reduce to 3 cars if necessary and ferry people up to the Bow Stones. If it looks like there’ll only be 3 cars, I’ll tell people to go straight to the Bow Stones.) Those going straight to the meet starting place please inform the leader when booking in case of any late changes
