Southport Ramblers welcome all age groups (from 8 to 80+) for fortnightly walks travelling by coach with like-minded people throughout the year.
This village in the High Peak District is a good starting point to climb up to Kinder Scout, or visit Kinder Reservoir. Lower level walks could take you over towards New Mills or Birch Vale and the Pennine Bridleway. With toilets available at the coach park, and pubs and cafes available for refreshments on your return, this makes it an excellent area to visit.
Three walks will be available with details circulated on the coach. They will range from easy to strenuous depending on the walk selected.
A Walk Leader - Dave White. 1700 ft ascent and 9 miles in length clockwise. Map on our Facebook page.
B Walk Leader - Dave Scowcroft. This route is mainly easy walking, on well-trodden paths, bridleways and roads with only 6 styles along its length. The walk is about 9 miles (14.5km) and has a total ascent of just under 400m (1300ft). Weather permitting, we will be treated to beautiful views in all directions as we progress along this route. Map on our Facebook page.
C Walk Leader - John Slatcher. The walk goes along the Sett valley trail before taking a footpath going south & then west to the canal here we walk back into New Mills before picking up the trail again to walk back to the coach. There are a number of small climbs. 7.5 miles. More details on the coach.
The bus stop by the Plough Roundabout in Crossens, Southport, and calling at all pick-up points going south.
