Perton Walkers 2008

The Morecambe and Wise of Rambling groups

 

Have walked all of these paths before

But not necessarily in the right order!

 

“Perton Walkers” did their first walk in May 1999 and, apart from the year of foot and mouth, have suffered one walk a month (usually on the morning of the third Sunday- June always the second Sunday) followed by a pub lunch washed down with fine wine and/or real ale. Most walks start from a pub car park at 11 am and, although we will use the same pub oft times, never repeat a walk unless made quite clear in the

 Walk Information Leaflet.

 

Perton Walkers do it in walking boots and offer anything from a stroll in the park to a two-hour mud fest through the peak bogs of The Pennine Way- if The Pennine Way could be reached from Perton in 45 minutes! (Regular Perton Walkers will freely admit the usual guide knows all the muddy bits within travelling distance of Perton- hence the reference to walking boots and if you were thinking of anything else, shame on you).

 

The Walk Information Leaflet issued for each walk provides just enough information to tempt the stouthearted and boot footed and is available a week or so before the dates shown below.
