Long ARS to the tops of Cheshire

The December long ARS walk includes the summits of Shutlingsloe (at 506m, Cheshire's 2nd highest top) and Shining Tor (at 559m, Cheshire's highest top).

Anton Woolford is leading this walk, a nine/ten mile, 1800ft/2100ft 3/4 Booter.

We meet in the main Audlem car park for an 8am start so as to get back in time for some seasonal refreshment!

Drive to Clough House CP in Wildboarclough – SJ987698 – nearest Post Code SK11 0BD

The A route includes the steep climb up Shutlingsloe and a steady walk up to Shining Tor, although by contouring around Shutlingsloe and avoiding the walk up to Shinging Tor, the route is a 3 Booter at nine miles and around 1800ft ascent.

For A route ARS Members, the harder route becomes a 4 Booter at ten miles and 2100ft of climb.

We can vary the route according to the weather etc.

Remember, there are plentiful stiles and lots of mud!
