In April our walk is to Sunderland Point and beyond, starting in the Lune Estuary near Overton we go to the tip of Sunderland Point and visit Sambo’s grave. Then onto Heysham and its power station, to pick up the coastal path along Morecambe Bay.
May, June and July takes us to the Pennines in Derbyshire. In May, both walks will visit the crash site of an American aircraft that came down in mist on Shelf Moor in 1948. June’s walk crosses Black Ashop Moor and Kinder Scout and in July we walk along Stanage Edge.
The Old Portway is a prehistoric route through Derbyshire, most of that has been lost, but we can follow the trail from Cromford to Bakewell. These walks are taken from a Mike Cresswell book.
Our Autumn/Winter programme will start with 3 walks along the Marches Way beginning in Wem and ending in Chester. The Marches Way is a long distance footpath that runs from Chester to Cardiff.
