Overview

A relatively flat 6 mile ramble around a lesser walked part of Staffordshire. We'll walk along old railways and canals starting and finishing near the Chasewater Country Park. Walking at a more relaxed pace and covering the distance in a little over 2 hours, we'll ensure you've earned your Christmas dinner a few days later.

The paths are good, but expect some muddy parts and try not to fall in the canal. I don't have a lunch stop planned but there are toilets, benches and a cafe at the car park that should be open.

Parking is £3.50, bearing in mind walking and meeting up time. Please message me for details and to join up (preferably WhatsApp), car shares should be available via the normal methods. Please also let me know if you're bringing a dog, it should be fine but it helps me be organised.
