About us

We are the Broken Cross Walkers, a group of Walkers, mainly from the Macclesfield area who enjoy getting out in the fresh air and having a good walk, we normally have a walk about every 2 or 3 weeks, mainly local and normally within 15-20 miles of Macclesfield. On most walks we usually take a warm drink and a snack and occasionally we may have a café or pub lunch if we all decide to treat ourselves on that particular day. Good idea to have walking boots, trainers or strong shoes and carry some waterproofs in case of rain. We don’t mind a bit of rain but we won’t walk if it is torrential. We usually walk around 5 to 7 miles. We have no membership fee and just a few common sense guidelines that can be found HERE   Everybody is welcome on our walks but if you are planning to come along for the first time it would be helpful to drop us a line so we can expect you.

Lyme Park October  2023

We met next to Mottram school and 11 of us set off along Priest Lane and straight across onto Smithy Lane and Woodside Farm. Across the golf course to the Bollin Valley way, then through the rather fading glory of the bluebell woods and across Mill Lane for a coffee stop. Then via Dean Farm and Faulkner Farm to the car park next to the edge and to Lunch in a secluded Dell lit by blossoms of yellow broom. Then along the lower path to Daniel Hill, across the fields to Goose Green and Brook House Farm, back onto Priest Lane and to the vehicles.

The weather was near perfect. Our walkers were Anita, Eve, Jo, Judith, Marilyn, Pauline, Susan M, Wendy, Alan B and Alan S and many thanks to Dave Ilett for leading this lovely 7¼ mile walk.
