Meet: Holmes Chapel Community Centre for 09:30 am for any car sharing to The George & Dragon. Please let the GL know if you are travelling direct to the pub.
Start: Meet at the pub at 09:45am please, so that we can start walking at 10.00am.
Break: Usual short break part way round.
Lunch: I have made a reservation at The George & Dragon who say that they would like a pre order for food before the day of the walk. If planning to stay for lunch, could you please let me have your pre order before 4.00pm on Monday March 23rd using the link to the menus below.
If I do not hear from you I will assume that you are not staying for lunch.
Please note that due to the limited parking at the pub it would help if as many walkers as possible could car share from Holmes Chapel Community Centre.
