MPC Walks 1919

The following MPC walks were planned for 1919. Here is a pdf scan of the walks programme summary in the 1919 Members' Handbook. At the end, if available, is a link to a document containing the Retrospect or Report for the year, usually from the following year's handbook, and which describes what actually happened.

Of interest: Time of sundown is given for each walk in the Handbook above. It is interesting, a century later, to see the high proportion of walks in Cheshire south and south-west of Manchester, compared with other decades.

Given are the walk number and date, the name of the walk, its leader, and length. This is followed by starting time and location, and route details.

Note that in 1919 the cumulative walk numbers had not been assigned so, until I can work them out, I leave them blank.
