Walk Leader : John Adams
John Adams is a walk leader for a group of walkers known as the Wyre Ramblers. On the coach for each
trip John provides a brief printed summary of the planned walk for those wishing to join him.
The walks his group undertakes make good use of not being constricted to a circular route. With a suitable dropping
off and pickup point John plans many fine walks along some of the less frequented footpaths of Northern England.
