Look! Another walk with no headline goal!  No named mountain, feature or trail.  Just a day out in the fresh air, enjoying the local countryside with good friends and a well deserved pint and roast dinner in a pub afterwards.  There may even be cake, or there may not.  But you won't know if you don't come!

This walk starts (and more importantly, ends) at the The Oddfellows in Mellor, an award-winning independent pub.  You can find it here http://www.oddfellowsmellor.com/ if you're interested.  The Oddfellows is named after one of the earliest "Friendly Societies" and wikipedia hints that some think it may even date back to the exile of the Israelites in Babylon.  So even older than Social Circle then.

We'll walk about 8 miles, through the fields, lanes and farms around Mellor itself, skirting close to New Mills.  There are no big hills to climb, but it's by no means flat around there.

You'll need proper walking boots for the mud - ie no trainers, but bring some to change into for the pub and the journey home.  And jeans really are not a good idea if it's cold and wet.

Regular walking can...

• fill you with energy and confidence
• help you beat stress
• make your heart fitter and strengthen your bones
• help you keep your weight down
