Morning all
Thanks to those that responded to my earlier plea for help with my
forthcoming book "Adventurous Pub Walks in Cheshire". The manuscript is now
with the publishers being edited and then typeset, but's there's still time
to help me make the book as clear and accurate as possible by walking one of
my routes and checking my maps and directions; I can still make important
changes at this stage if necessary.
If you're interested in trying out a walk, the full list of walks is as
follows; as-yet-unchecked routes are marked with an asterisk, and those are
the ones I'm particularly interested in having reviewed:
1. Northwest Wirral and Hilbre Island, 12.75 miles*
2. Parkgate and Little Neston, 10.5 miles*
3. Helsby and Frodsham Hills, 7 miles
4. Spike Island, Wigg Island and Runcorn, 7.5 miles*
5. Appleton and Grappenhall, 8.25 miles
6. Anderton Boat Lift, River Weaver and Northwich Community Woodlands,
11.5 miles*
7. Delamere Forest, 7.25 miles*
8. Eaton and Little Budworth, 8 miles*
9. Brindley, Haughton Moss and Faddiley, 7 miles
10. Beeston Castle, Burwardsley and Raw Head 12 miles*
11. Farndon, Aldford and the River Dee, 11.25 miles*
12. Malpas, Overton Scar and Shocklach, 9.25 miles
13. Marbury Mere and Old St Chad's, 9 miles
14. Wybunbury and Blakenhall, 13.25 miles*
15. Weston, Barthomley and Englesea Brook, 7.5 miles*
16. Congleton, Mow Cop and Astbury Mere, 10.25 miles
17. The Dane valley from Holmes Chapel to Swettenham, 7.5 miles
18. Nether Alderley, Hare Hill and Alderley Edge, 8.5 miles*
19. Windgather Rocks, Kettleshulme and Shining Tor, 8.75 miles
20. Lyme Park and Higher Poynton, 8 miles
Drop me a line at dave.dunf...@birdguides.com if you'd like a route
description and map. I assume no obligation at all and I won't nag if you
take a route and I don't hear back from you in time, but if you do one and
get your feedback to me by the end of the year you'll get your name in
print, qualify for a copy at my author's discount, and earn my genuine
gratitude.
Cheers, and good walking
Dave Dunford
