We have a change to programme as the scheduled leader is unable to do the walk. So it is a more local walk from Hazel Grove to High Lane to Poynton-with-Worth. It is just over 7 miles, moderate, there is one stile relatively new and several gates, mainly on good pathways and tracks, it is mixed terrain with some fields, country lanes, good tracks through woods and some canal pathway.

The walk will start at 10am from Buxton Road (old A6 before the bypass was created for A555, near Jacksons Dairy). Ample parking on Buxton Road, parking on the left hand side– a nearby post code is SK7 6NA.

From Brabyns head back along Station Road to the lights opposite the Texaco/Coop petrol station, turn right and follow Stockport Road past Rose Hill Station to the second set of lights at ‘Seventeen Windows’. Turn left at the lights (filter lane), follow Offerton Road until it becomes Torkington Road turn left at the lights with the Bulls Head. Continue along the A6 past the BP station on the right straight through the first lights past the end of the A555 and turn right at the next lights onto (old) Buxton Road and park on the left hand side. Please NOTE do not go over the bridge further up the road, as this is for Buses Only and there is an active camera.
