Hello Everyone
We're walking close to Burton this Sunday or to be more precise from Barton Marina with Pam & Lorna. Their route takes us on an easterly loop around the local villages on a variety of footpaths, tracks, a little road walking, and a short stretch of canal. Some hills and stiles on this one making it a Moderately graded event.
As always you're welcome to join us but let us know if this is your very first time out with us please and we'll look out for you. Thanks very much.
Registration: 09.45. Walk start: 10.00. Walk leaders: Pam & Lorna (07538 725252 Lorna)
Facilities available at the start, but not during the walk.
⚠️Poles useful if you have them. Possibly some mud around particularly if it rains in the days beforehand.
⚠️ Our own members should note there's no rendezvous at Hednesford for this event. Please go direct to the start.
Post walk refreshments/socials at one or other of the marina's various establishments, probably the pub.
See you all there on Sunday morning!
Directions: The start is at Barton Marina which is located approximately one mile off the A38 near Burton-upon-Trent.
From your home location pick up the A38 until the Barton Turn flyover where exit slip direction Barton-under-Needwood via the B5016. Once clear of the intersection island(s) follow the B5016, direction Barton-under-Needwood, for just 300 yards to then turn left signed for Barton Turn and Barton Marina, followed by a right turn 75 yards later into the marina's driveway.
Proceed for 300 yards to the car parking areas. Approach the large Waterfront pub and turn left at this point into the left hand car park to keep us all in one place.
Photos coming shortly.
