A massive ‘thank you’ to Magic Little Grants for funding our walk leaflets for twelve months, which will help to promote our guided walks in Bollington, Macclesfield and surrounding areas.

Re the Bridgend walk this week. In a change to our advertised walking programme, the walk on this coming Saturday will not start from the Bridgend Centre. It will start from Rainow Village School at 10:30am. People will be available to give you a lift from Bridgend to the walk start at 10:15am. For more information please give us a call on 01625 576311.

The walk will be going to Macclesfield Forest via Rainow and Lamaload and will be quite challenging! Please bring a packed lunch. £3, all proceeds will go to the Bridgend Centre.

We had a fabulous day on Sunday when the Bollington Nostalgia Hill Race took place. The weather was fine and we had over 100 participants.

The results and some photographs can be found here:

Looking for volunteering opportunities? The Bridgend Centre needs you!

Whether you like getting out and about in the fresh air, enjoy making things with your hands or prefer to work on a computer the Bridgend Heritage Trails project has a role for you! We are updating eight local walking trails stretching from Swanscoe Hall to Bakestonedale Moor and Whiteley Green to Harrop Fold. Set up over fifteen years ago and now in need of a little tidy up and looking to go digital!

We’re looking for:

Walkers to test out amendments to walk routes.

Woodworkers to remove and replace markers on the trails themselves or to cut, drill and refurbish wooden items in our workshop.

Readers to check out our spelling and grammar!

If you would like to get involved, perhaps visiting some new places and making new friends along the way please contact Avril at the Bridgend Centre
