Walking
A couple of my favourite places to walk
My local - Sandbach
I live in the Town of Sandbach which is in Cheshire, a very flat part of the country but with some excellent walks. Sandbach is a small town full of history with the ancient crosses and cobbled streets being a highlight. If you walk out of town you can follow one of the many canals out into the countryside or head across fields. One of the lcoal sights is Jodrell Bank which is a great sight to walk around as well as a Centre of Scientific Interest. It also hosts live music and a few years ago I saw one of my favourite bands, Elbow, perform there live.

The Roaches - The Peak District
I was born on the egde of the Peak District National Park which is Englands oldest national Park. Growing up I would cycle and walk extensively in the Peaks but my favbourite area is The Roaches. The is a rocky outcrop overlooking a reservoir with an excellent pub by the water. You can either hike, boat or take climbing gear and take on one of the many climbing routes which snake their way through the crags.
