Walk - Thursday 6th November

It is from the Churchill Tree SK10 4ZG, in Alderley Park South, just off the A34.  We begin by walking through the water garden, then into the woodland of the Park.  We go out of the park across farmland, then back into the Park to the restaurant.  The path is mainly tracks, with some grass when crossing the fields.  There is one stile.

It is just under 5 miles, with what those of us from Norfolk describe as 'undulating' countryside, but not as steep as a hill.

I have to tell The Churchill Tree numbers and menu choices by 31st October.  The Specials change day by day, so it is safer to avoid them.  The menu can be seen at info@thechurchilltree.co.uk. This is currenly the October menu, so it may be a bit different in November.

Christmas Walk and Lunch

We have booked provisionally for 20 people at the Beefeater in Tytherington on Thursday 4th December.  The walk beforehand will be led by Cecilia and the restaurant is happy for us to park our cars there while we go walking until after we have had lunch, despite the on-site signage. Indeed Cecilia and I did just that last Tuesday.

The menu is available.  Please note we shall be only using the green menu. The others are for Christmas Day and Boxing Day so ignore them.  They seem to download as a package.  Also they have no prices on them but for two courses it is £21.95 and for three courses £25.95. One course does not seem to be an option. Deposits are not required but if you book a lunch and then can't come you will have to pay anyway.

Please find Cecilia's information about the lunch booking below.  More information about the walk will be sent nearer the time as per usual but it is a pleasant and easy ramble around the outskirts of Macclesfield with one fairly long, but not very steep, hill on a paved surface.  Think of the calories you'll be in credit for by the time you get lunch!

"The December walk will start and end at the Beefeater in Tytherington.  I need to know numbers for the Christmas lunch by the end of October, then menu choices by the middle of November.  No deposit will be required.  We can park there for the walk and meal. Please let me know if you're coming by email."
