Lenth 9miles

Grade 2

The Roaches - a large rock formation between Macclesfield and Leek, next to the frankly more attractive but modest "Hen Cloud".  Most people think of going up and over the Roaches, but that's just too obvious.  This walk goes around them - which also means it doesn't have any steep ascents/descents.  But it isn't a stroll in a flat park either.

If we're lucky with the weather and the buttercups are still out in the meadows, this will be a beautiful day out which will fill you with joy.  Otherwise you might only have a great day out with good company in the fresh air.

Walking boots are strongly recommended to avoid slips and twisted ankles, and given the sort of summer we've had so far, jeans and other cotton trousers which don't dry quickly are not the choice of the clever walker...

Length is about 9 miles.  We will find a roast dinner in a pub afterwards.

Kit list: hat, gloves, warm clothes, waterproof jacket and trousers, walking trousers walking boots as may be slippy tea flask.

Regular walking can...

• fill you with energy and confidence
• help you beat stress
• make your heart fitter and strengthen your bones
• help you keep your weight down
