The Walking Group meets on the 1st Friday and 3rd Monday of every month starting at about 10.00.
Walks tend to be 4-6 miles finishing with a pub or cafe lunch; retired members may ask to stay on the membership list and to join us just for lunch.
Members take it in turns to organise walks. No equipment other than members' own is needed.
There are no formal car sharing arrangements - members arrange between themselves if they wish.
We have had a recent influx of new members. The Group is currently open for new members but we are keeping this under review.
If you are interested in joining us, please contact Janet or Nicholas walking for further information.
Walking, by Janet Money (report in the January 2025 issue of Chester Times)
If the weather’s a bit rough but you feel like a sheltered walk with very little road walking, you could do worse than follow the route that Liz led us in mid-September. It starts at Meadow Lea Farm café on Station Road in Mickle Trafford (CH2 4EH). Park at the café, then turn right down Station Road for a hundred metres or so until you reach the access path to the Millenium Greenway. Walk along the Greenway for about 3.5km until you reach Bren Bikes. There are tables and chairs here where you can take a break – there’s no café so take your own supplies.
Now return along the Greenway and under the A55 until you meet a right-hand path signed to Guilden Sutton. Follow the path until you reach a railway bridge. Shortly after the bridge, and just before you reach the road, take the bridleway to the left. This will bring you back to Station Lane where you turn left back to the café. The walk should take about 2 hours, all level walking on good surfaces. The café has a good range of offerings, so reward yourselves with coffee, cake or one of their all-day breakfasts.

Nick will lead our ever popular New Year walk from the Ring O’Bells in Christleton on Friday January 2nd. This is a gentle stroll along the canal into Chester, stopping on the way for coffee and ending with lunch at the Ring O’Bells. If you would like to join us (with no obligation to join the Group) please email Nick at nick.titlow@outlook.com.
