Goyt Valley
Length: 7/8 miles
Transport: Car shares
This walk will take us along the Saddle of Kerridge, where we'll see the White Nancy monument, and through the cloughs around Bollington and Rainow. It's not flat ("saddle" and "clough" are your keywords there) but it's not steep mountain terrain either.
We'll walk about 7-8 miles at a gentle pace and then end up back in Bollington for a meal in a pub. Bollington has a staggering number of pubs and if you have a favourite you can particularly recommend, let us know in advance, otherwise The Vale (http://www.valeinn.co.uk) is probably where we’ll go.
Stout boots are the order of the day, and we'll be car-sharing so some shoes to change into for the journey back would be good. Other than that, plan for a little rain, hope for sunshine...
Oh, and there will be cake too.
Kit list: hat, gloves, warm clothes, waterproof jacket and trousers, walking trousers walking boots as may be slippy tea flask.
