The Halls Route is a 17 mile walking and cycling route devised by a member of Cycle Stockport The route passes by several of the old Black & White buildings within Stockport and passes through the town centre so can easily be shortened by using the bus service. It has been part of Stockport's Local Development Plan for several years now with very little happening, however it is now being given some prominence in their proposals for the future. The route has several recommendations, from creating access to schools to linking parks such as Bramall and Bruntwood Parks. At present it is primarily a walking route and it needs more promotion than Cycle Stockport can achieve. I have just been reading the 10k and Marple Carnival posts and wonder if anyone would be interested in promoting a 17 mile Challenge Walk to add to the areas attractions. Perhaps there could be a Marple Week when several activities take place.
