Can You Tackle Macc?

Fitness fans keen to limber up after a week in the office can now get active in the shadow of the Peak District by taking to the highways and byways of Macclesfield thanks to a new initiative titled Can You Tackle Macc?

From light hikes through Macclesfield Forest to gruelling cycle rides such as the famous ascent to the Cat and Fiddle inn, #TackleMacc offers the chance to spend the weekend getting physical in the beautiful surroundings of the foothills of the Peaks, just 20 miles south of Manchester. Plus there’s a reward for all those efforts in the shape of an ale trail to follow around the Cheshire town’s award-winning pubs and microbreweries.
