Welcome to Freshwalks and a vintage dark peak walking experience out of Glossop.
We start the day down in Glossop, hiking up to Harry Hut, then Mill Hill before heading north along the Pennine Way past the Snake Pass. We'll ascend Higher Shelf Stones to reach the wreckage of the B29 superfortress bomber, Overexposed and drop off Lower Shelf Stones via James's Thorn into Old Glossop.
Walkers are invited to join us for optional breakfast (not included in the ticket price) at Carluccio's, Manchester Piccadilly, from 08:30 onwards and we plan to catch the 09:33 train to Glossop. The walk will start soon after the Manchester train lands at 10:03.
We expect to return to Old Glossop sometime around 16:00.
You will need to bring a good supply of water and your own packed lunch. It's a long day. More information will be supplied in the week before the walk.
Hope you can join us, Michael.

FAQs
How can I contact the organiser with any questions?
An event pack will be sent out at least 72 hours before the walk. This should answer most things but feel free to email michael@freshwalks.co.uk with any questions you may have. If you've not received the pack by this time, check your email junk or spam and then contact us. Receiving this pack is essential as it includes important disclaimers and health and safety information.

Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?
No, you're fine as you are. We keep track of the attendees and check you off on arrival. However, if you have a confirmation email saved onto your phone, this may be useful on the rare occasion that there are any issues.
Is it ok if the name on my ticket or registration doesn't match the person who attends?
If you can no longer make it, please be sure to contact us with at least 24 hours notice. We try to be as accommodating as possible and understand that work commitments may pop up. Therefore, if you do need to transfer your ticket to a colleague, please contact us with their full details so we can organise the transfer in good time including the signing of the relevant legal disclaimers.
