FAQs:
What to wear? Comfy walking clothes are recommended. The weather forecast is looking good so trainers (with good soles) should be ok, or you can wear your hiking boots if you prefer.

Can I bring a dog? Dogs are welcome on a short lead, see https://www.madwalkers.org.uk/about-us/policies/dogs-on-walks-policy/ for details.

Can I drive to the walk start? You’re more than welcome to meet us at Irlam station — just make sure to arrive before 18:06am. The walk will start on time, we cannot wait for late arrivals, sorry. We will wait for the train from Manchester.

Many of our members are not on Meetup, so the RSVP list will be smaller than the total number of attendees. Typically around 30 people join each walk, so there's plenty of people to chat with.
