Southport Ramblers welcome all age groups from 8 to 80+ for fortnightly worry-free walking (travelling by coach) with like-minded people throughout the year.
This semi-rural village is at the western edge of Macclesfield Foret, with the St Dunstans Inn for refreshments later. Walks today could be along parts of the Gritstone Trail, or within the forest. You could head for the Cheshire Matterhorn (Shutlingsloe 50mts) to the south. Our leaders may even take you to Wildboarclough.
Three walks will be available with details circulated on the coach. They will range from easy to strenuous depending on the walk selected.
