We will need to keep checking the Ramblers England web site for any updates on their advice for walking groups, especially on the day before the planned walk.
David S will lead a walk from the Poacher going north towards Peckforton Castle. It measures a little less than 8 miles but inevitably includes some ascents.
I must limit the number to six to be within the law, so if more than five confirm I will start a waiting list. Let David S know your firm intentions by noon on Tuesday and he will confirm just after that.
The six confirmed walking on Wednesday: David S, Fran, Nigel, Michel, Sue P, Mike.
Usual timing, leaving Chester at 0900. We will need to go in separate cars.

A walk from Gresty's Waste Car Park.
Start from Gresty’s car park Kelsall
Leaving Chester 9.15 am.
Mike will be leading the walk.
will be about 8-9 miles with a climb of about 1000',
The route will visit Pale Heights, Blakemere ans explore parts of Delamere Forest as far as Manley Common.
some of the route may be off the main paths and you can expect some of them to be muddy, so gaiters are to be recommended.
Contact Mike and Martyn if you intend to walk.

The Whitegate Way and Vale Royal Locks
Walk today cancelled.
Expected Icy state of roads on way to car park.
Messages on your phones.
Distance: 8 miles. Climb: 480'.
Start: Park at Whitegate Station SJ615680, Clay Lane, Marton CW7 2QE
Off A54
Leave Chester in time to make a 10-00 start. Whitegate is about 15 miles away and takes about half an hour to get there.
From the car park it’s about a mile east along the old railway track before heading off left for a clockwise loop. Two thirds of the route is along the Weaver Navigation and the old railway line so should be level and well surfaced. What the bit across the fields will be like heaven knows.
The Rule of Six still applies and remember this is a socially distanced wak.
Let me know, David S with copy to Martyn, if you intend to join us.
Walkers so far:- David S, Wendy, Nigel, Michel & Sue, Mike (first six to sign up).
Sorry, but any late comers will have to go onto a reserve list.
Reserve list: Celia.
Now that there is a reserve list, it is important to let the leader know if you find you can no longer make the walk.
2021 Walks.
It looks as though the Chester Branch can continue to walk together with the rule of six still applying.
I assume they will continue to take it in turns to organise and lead the walks.
