Subject The Park Lane Hiking Club

This group is for people who want to walk and talk i.e. netwalk! So we decided to resurrect it.

I formed this group with my wonderful friend Len Gordon ( 1942-2014) which walked from 1995 -2010 then stopped. Well here we are again run by me and my friend John Thompson. It was originally intended for people who were working and who were prepared to take a day off ‘netwalking’. But lots were working and numbers dwindled then but all these years later a lot of people on the mailing list will be retired or working part time . Will Kintish [email protected]

Meet at Hayfield Bus Station

https://what3words.com/perused.ratty.numeral

There is a car parking charge at the bus station which we have tended not to use, as there are local streets with free parking.

The bus station is sign posted left, off the A6015 coming from the A6.

The left turn is just before the main A624.

The walk is about 8.5 miles, climbing NE out of Hayfield up the Snake Path to the Kinder Reservoir with magnificent view of Kinder Scout.

We then continue south past Peep O Day Farm and round on to a northerly path to the Radio Mast above Birch Vale

We finally walk down to the the Sett Valley and back to the start.

Probably a 4 hour walk, depending on stops, as like all good walks, it has "its ups and downs"
18 signed up so far. Fancy joining us?
