June Walks in Uppermill (Nr Oldham)



Our Walk next month will be to the village of Uppermill in the district of Saddleworth. Don't ask me if it is in Yorkshire or Lancashire as locals consider it to be in the 'County of Saddleworth.' It is a very close knit community with regular events throughout the year such as the Whit Friday Band concerts and the Rush Cart Festival on August Bank Holiday weekend.
Our walks will take place on Saturday 14th June;
Please ensure you carry a plentiful supply of drinking water (2 ltrs recommended), particularily in hot weather.Dehydration causes many problems.
There will be three walks;
A Walk led by Jenny
B walk led by Beverley
C Walk led by Les Gibson

Saddleworth is rolling countryside and valleys, so there will be plenty of 'ups and downs' giving variety and pleasure. Details of the walks will be posted here about 1 week beforehand.

The coach will park by the Swimming Baths just up the hill from the village centre, approx 10 minutes walk. The toilets are in the park at the centre of the village.

NOTE: Non Walkers are welcome to join us. IF there are spaces on a coach at any time people are welcome to come with us for the day and do their 'own thing' within the time limits of the walkers. Strollers could make use of the canal path with ease.
