Meet at the Village hall car park High Lane at 10.00 for 10.15 start. 7 miles easy with just a few gentle ups and downs and 2 or 3 stiles.

The walk takes us along Windlehurst Road for a short way then turning left we follow a track which goes over the Middlewood way.  From there we go over Hazel Grove  Golf Club ending up on the A6 which we cross (carefully) and continue on over the level crossing. We climb the banking on the side of Middlewood Road eventually coming to another track. A right turn then takes us  to the Incline and on to the canal  stopping at the seating near the Boars head for lunch.

From here we go over the water tower and on to the canal again which will take us back to the car park.

From Marple drive to the top of Hibbert Lane and carry strait on .  The village hall car park is on your left just before you reach A6.

If approaching from A6 turn left at the traffic lights at the Horseshoe pub.  The village hall car park is on your right a short distance ahead.
