Overview

We're walking at Boylestone this Sunday which is just north of the A50 at Sudbury and some ten miles south of Ashbourne. You're most welcome to join us too, but if this is your first time out with our bunch it would be great if you could let us know you're coming along. Cheers - see you there!

Registration: 09.45. Walk start: 10.00.

The walk itself is though pleasant rolling countryside. Mainly on field footpaths, tracks, and a little road walking on quiet lanes. Approximately 20 stiles and probably muddy in places if the weather remains wet by the weekend.

Toilets available at the start courtesy of Boylestone Village Hall. This event wouldn't be possible without their kind assistance so we'd like to make a donation of at least £I.50 per person. Thank you. (No loose change if you can help it please).
