We are a registered charity for those who are interested in walking in the Cheshire countryside and in helping to look after and protect our Public Rights of Way. We walk to enjoy ourselves, walking at a leisurely pace, while inspecting the paths and clearing minor obstructions. Please bring secateurs. Stout footwear is essential. Bring small change, as some car parks may charge for parking. Sunday Programme: Unless otherwise stated , walks start at 2:00 pm in the summer (BST) and 1:30 pm in winter. They last around 2½ hrs. In the summer months there are also occasional ‘Long Sunday’ walks starting at 10:30 unless otherwise stated and lasting about 5½ hrs. Bring packed lunch and drinks. Usually a pub meal afterwards.

Wednesday Programme: Walks start at 10:30 am unless otherwise stated . Short walks (4-5 miles) finish about 1:30 pm; bring a drink and biscuit. Medium walks (5½-6½ miles) finish about 2:00 pm; bring packed lunch. Long walks (7-8½ miles) finish about 3:00 pm; bring packed lunch.

Social Programme: Most events are for members only. For further social events and further details, please see website.

The Walk Leader is responsible for ensuring that all members of the party observe the Country Code. Dogs only with advance notice and at leader's discretion as many walks cross farmland with animals. Injuries/Loss of property: Please note that The Mid-Cheshire Footpath Society does not accept any responsibility for personal injury or loss of property when attending any of our walks or functions. If it is thought necessary, individuals should take out their own insurance arrangements.
