Overview

Chris is leading a 9 mile Leisurely walk.

The walk will ramble past a number of the most significant landmarks of the cultural capital of The UK. Statistically the second most visited city in The UK . Film location of The movie 24 hour party people, the walk will trek past The Hacienda, Old Trafford, Media City, Coronation Street , The Ship Canal, Science and Industry museum . The walk will finish at The world famous Afflecks Palace retro/alternative shopping arcade followed by Food and drinks in The edgy Northern Quarter of the city where we can startle at my favourite Street Mural of Ian Curtis, my all time hero.
