A couple of years ago, 3 Valley Vegans ended a great walk at the Pace Egg Play(s) in Heptonstall. We’re going to do it again this year but this time our walk will start in Todmorden. It will take us around 3 hours to walk the 9 km (5.5 miles) route to Heptonstall and, if we arrive on time, we will be able to watch the Calder High School version of the play at 3pm and the Heptonstall Players’ version at 4pm. The walk will afford some great views and will pass some lovely places as well as working farms where animals do not live the kind of lives that vegans wish for them. The Pace Egg plays (see https://heptonstall.org/pace-egg-2/ to learn more) are a Good Friday tradition and it is great fun to be part of the large and interactive audience.
🕦 Time & date: Good Friday, 14th April 2017 before 11:30 am as we will leave promptly at that time.
🚏 Meeting place: The bus stop on the opposite side of the road to the Shell garage on Halifax Road, Todmorden (heading out of Todmorden towards Halifax, the bus stop is on the left 100m before the left turn to Hallroyd Road).
👞 Equipment: The walk could well cross muddy and slippery terrain and so waterproof walking boots and suitable clothing are a must. Maybe walking sticks too.
😬 Severity: The 9 km walk will involve climbs totalling 516m and the highest point will be 326m above sea level. (We will have started at 124m above sea level.)
🍞 Food: Please bring only vegan food to eat for lunch and/or during the walk. That’s the rule for 3VV walks.
🚌 Getting home afterwards: those returning to Todmorden can either do it on foot again following a different route on the same side of the valley (north) or take a bus.
After a Christmas holiday full of food, your thoughts may well be turning to shaking off those extra pounds. There’s no better way to do that than to join us for our New Year’s Day walk – a guaranteed tonic for any hangover too! We’ll be walking in the hills above Todmorden and absorbing some of the fantastic scenery (weather allowing). Starting at 11.30 am outside the Golden Lion pub in Rochdale Road, Todmorden.
Our magical mystery walk will be 5 to 6 miles long and we intend to return to Todmorden between 3 and 4pm. Please bring some vegan food to eat for lunch.
As we’ll be walking in the hills, it is vital to wear suitable clothing including walking boots.

The Dusty Miller has taken up its carpets due to flooding, so the flag floor is perfect for walkers boots!
