The Three Wonders of Leek: A Walk for James
📅 Date: Sunday, 14th September 2025
🕒 Start Time: 8:00 AM
📍 Starting Point: Westwood Golf Course, Meeting at the Entrance
Join us for a heartfelt 26.6-mile walk in memory of our dear friend and local legend, James Lockett. Now in its fifth year, this annual tradition has grown into a powerful tribute—bringing people together to honour James’s life, share stories, and walk with purpose.
🌿 Route Overview
We’ll journey through three iconic beauty spots James held close:
• Rudyard Lake – A calm and reflective beginning
• Tittesworth Reservoir – Serene trails wrapped in natural beauty
• The Roaches – Towering landscapes and views to remember
💙 Charity Support
This year, we proudly walk in support of Dougie Mac hospice, whose compassionate care meant so much when we lost our friend Andrew ‘Jocky’ Wilson to cancer earlier this year. Every donation helps bring dignity, comfort, and kindness to others facing difficult times.
