Night Hike

9th November 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Meet at 19:00 at the layby on the Ridgeway, near Spirit of the Herd Pony Sanctuary, a little bit down the hill from Queen Charlottes Wood.
NGR SJ 50833 74774, where the footpath to Snidley Moor Woods starts.
We aim to arrive at St Lawrence Church car park in Frodsham by 20:30 (SJ 52089 77281)
I did the walk on Sunday, and I could make it back within an hour and a half, although it was daylight.
As ever, please come prepared for the conditions underfoot and dressed or prepared for the weather.
Please wear:
Walking boots if you have them, some parts are quite muddy wet and slippy, others are well worn compacted path. If you don’t have boots then make sure your footwear has a good grippy sole.
Layers – It is unseasonably mild, so you will probably get quite warm once walking, so dress in layers – i.e. t-shirt underneath, fleece/hoodie/jumper over that, and please bring a windproof / waterproof layer to wear
Trousers – please don’t wear shorts, and don’t wear heavy cotton materials such as jeans. They hold water and offer no warmth. Ideal is leggings / tracksuit bottoms / combat style trousers.
Worth bringing hat and gloves, they don’t take up much space but do make a big difference if we have to stop and you could get cold.
Please bring:
Torch – headtorch is ideal
Water – please bring your own, I can’t carry 18 litres of water for other people
Your own snacks if you can’t make it through 90 minutes without a mars bar. (Spirit of the Herd have an honesty based cake shop on the roadside)
Weather
Weather Forecast is a 4% chance of rain, and a temperature of about 8 degrees. Moonlight should be at 99% of a full moon (Waning) but there will be cloud cover.
Please ensure your emergency contact details are up to date.
Thanks
