| Tue Dec 7th | Our last Tuesday walk for 2021 will start at 10am at Littleborough Station and walk along the canal to summit, crossing the A6033 to Calderbrook, onto the Pennine Bridleway and over via Grimes and Long Clough to return back to the Station. We will cover a distance of approximately 4 miles taking about 2 hours (depending on how fast we walk). It will take a circular route over relatively easy terrain and mainly defined paths. Suitable for fit beginners, please wear weather-approriate footwear and clothing. You can bring food and drink for a mid walk rest and a mobile phone is recommended. Dogs not permitted on this walk. The meeting point can be reached by public transport (but don't forget your mask) and there are car parking facilities at and around the station. Any new walkers should bring emergency telephone numbers for next of kin, and will be asked to confirm they have completed their personal risk assessment. |
