We are the Derby and South Derbyshire Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Join us in the Weaver Hills area of Staffordshire with more manageable hills than more mountainous areas. From Ellastone we walk north to Wootton, along the base of the Weavers to Kevin quarry, south to Ramshorn and Wootton Park then returning across JCB testing grounds.
The group does not stop at cafes or pubs for lunch, and you should bring enough food and drinks with you to last the whole walk. We usually stop for a coffee break an hour or so into the walk, and stop for packed lunch around 1230-1300 although weather and a suitable location will affect both timings.
Risk assessment: The walk leader has assessed this walk for risks, but during the walk others may become evident. This is the English countryside in November, so expect some muddy/slippery sections, possibly inclement weather, farm livestock & warning signs.
You will probably come across stiles, gates and other path furniture, hedges, pinch points, and you are asked to be aware and take individual responsibility.
You should remain stay alert and take individual responsibility
