There is a Costa vending machine in the railway station if you want a coffee or tea when we meet at Hooton. There is a toilet facility half an hour into the walk. Two hours in we reach Parkgate where there is a cafe and toilets. We have picnic tables for lunch about 13:00. We will be calling at a little cafe in Burton at about 3.30pm and will finish the walk before 5.00pm. We have a one mile trek along a country lane - please be extra diligant. Only six cars passed me on the recce. Captain Jack Sparrow will be meeting us in Parkgate!!!!!
