WEBSITE RESOURCES FOR WALKERS: A COLLECTION OF WALKING ROUTES
Do you need some ideas for the walk you are leading?
Do you want to find a walk to do on a day when Stockport Walkers don't have a walk?

The Members' Area of our website now has a collection of over 100 walking routes at all levels for you to search through
- You can search and select by group, length, location, total climb etc
- The Grid Reference and Latitude/Longitude of the parking/meeting place are given
- There is a link which will show the parking place on Google maps
- You can download a .gpx file ready to import into a digital mapping tool eg Tracklogs
- There is a document available to give you guidance on using the table

To have a look at this invaluable collection go to the Members' Arae and click on 'Walking Routes'


'WALKERS ARE WELCOME'
Over 100 towns and villages are affiliated to 'Walkers are Welcome'. Walkers know that, if they see the friendly footprint logo, they are assured of a warm welcome throughout the town, a good path network and waymarked walks round about. The towns and villages also host walking festivals throught the year.
For more information please see the links page


PEAK AND NORTHERN REPRESENTATIVE
Members, particulary perhaps new members, have sometimes asked "What does our Peak and Northern Footpaths Society representative do?"

If you come across a broken or dangerous stile or an area of footpath that is impassable then please contact our representative (see the Walks Programme for name and telephone number). They will then pass on the information to Peak and Northern who will investigation and arrange for repairs to be carried out. Our representative will also attend the AGM and report back to members.
