Walks and Dates September 2025

Wednesday and Saturday Walks.
It is still the holiday season, so I have decided not to suggest specific walks each Wednesday and Saturday. 
Instead I have suggested a few walks to choose from, if you want to walk.
All walks during September will be arranged on request.
One or more short walks a month could be included on request.
However Saturday walks can be arranged on request.
I won't be able to go on any of our normal walks between 
11th September and 25th September 2025
Wednesday 3rd September 2025.
An Eddidbury Castle, Pale Heights, Manley Common and Delamere Forest Round.
Distance: 8 miles Climb: 700'.
The Yeld Car Park, Kelsall. Grid ref: SJ532602
Leave Chester at 09-30. The car park at The Yeld doesn't officially open until 10-00, so we don't want to get there too soon.
Those planning to walk: Martyn (I will drive), .
Those not walking: .
The walk will start by heading down the lane opposite (Forest Gate Lae) the car park towards the Sandstone Trail, but at the end of the lane, we will take the woodland path past King's Chair that eventually links with the Sandstone Trail. 
After crossing the Sandstone Trail we will take the path eastward, reaching a lane by the "Poo - tin" and then down the lane as far as the path to Eddisbury Castle. After visiting Eddisbury Castle we will descent to meet a track that leads past the masts on the way to to Pale Heights.
We will then head to the Delamere Forest Visitor Centre and into the forest taking the path on the west side of Blakemere Moss, We will take a path past Pinewood Fam, Kingswood Cottage, eventually joining the Eddisbury Way  as far as Manley Common (a possible lunch spot if we haven't found anywhere better before then).
After leaving Manley Common, it is then a stroll through the forest on parts of the Sandstone Trail taking the track to Forest Gate Lane and back to the start.

This walk allows us to once again explore areas north and south of Moel-y-Parc. In 2024, we didn't find route finding very easy. Hopefully the next time we do this walk, we will do a little better!
The walk combines two walks in Dave Berry's new booklet "More Walks in the Clwydian Range (Third Edition)".

Ramshaw Rocks and the Roaches.
Distance: 8 miles. Climb: 1400’.
Start: Lay-by on West side of Hen Cloud, opposite the track to Windygates. Grid ref: SK006618.
Leave Chester at 08-00.
Those planning to walk: Martyn and Mike. 
Those not walking: .
Ramshaw Rocks, combined with The Roaches, makes a superb walk, worth repeating on an annual basis.
This walk allows us to explore Ramshaw Rocks seen so many times as we have walked over the Roaches. Ramshaw Rocks from a distance have always looked to be an interesting place in which to walk. This time Ramshaw Rocks will be our main objective with a North to South traverse of the Roaches a bonus towards the end of the walk. If time and legs permit, Hen Cloud may be included as an extension. The route heads North and then North west leading to Well Farm. From Well Farm field paths are used to reach the Churnet Way near Naychurch. The Churnet Way is followed North over Ramshaw Rocks and then leaves the Churnet Way and heads North to visit Black Brook Nature Reserve, After a complete circuit of the Reserve the route drops down to the road South of Newstone Farm. The road is then followed North for about a mile before heading west across Goldstich Moss in to the Black Brook Valley. After crossing the brook on a footbridge the path then rises to Roach End. At Roaches End the main path over the Roaches is followed past the trig point and Doxy Pool back to the start.
Boggy area guaranteed!

Please feel free to make suggests of walks that you would like to be included.
Please remember, I have a Prayer Meeting at Church on the first Wednesday of each month every, so I will be looking for walks not too far away.
