Squarrites on Foot

Since July 1992 a quarterly ‘office’ sqwalk has been organised by members from Stoke City Council, colleagues and friends.  We must have now completed over 1000 miles.  If anyone would like to add up the mileages given in the table below I’d appreciate it.

Future possible walks include:-

Foolow to Eyam – Peak District

Green mill Brewery at the Harewood Arms at Broadbottom near glossop recommended by Mark Stefan.

Worcester, including The Mug House at Claines and possibly the Fruiterers Arms at Uphampton.

Stonehouse Brewery and walk at Oswestry
