Walsall Group of Ramblers has been around since 1992 and in that time we've introduced many people to the joys and benefits of walking with the Ramblers
Darren and Loraine
On leaving the car park, we begin the climb through Ercall Wood to the summit of The Ercall, with good views across to its big sister, The Wrekin. On descending, we follow The Shropshire Way to explore this important geological site before passing the reservoir and taking one of the lesser walked paths across the foothill of The Wrekin.
We then continue to Smalley Hill Nature Reserve in the village of New Works, an area of grasslands and ponds and once an important mining settlement in the 18th century. Our return takes us through Limekiln Wood.
Some paths are likely to be muddy.
Joint walk with Sandwell Ramblers and Wolverhampton Ramblers.
We leave the meeting point in Walsall promptly at 09:00am. The start time is the time the actual walk is due to start.
We regret we cannot allow dogs other than assistance dogs on weekend Walsall Group walks.
Personal medication, e.g. asthma inhalers and angina sprays, must be carried by the walkers themselves.
All walkers should carry an ICE card or a contact number in case of emergency.
Booking is not necessary for this walk.
Walkers will need a packed lunch.
Please notify the leader if you intend to travel direct to the walk start.
