We are the Chase & District Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Hello Everyone
We've ventured far and wide just lately so this Sunday we're back on home turf with leaders Jean & Phil on a walk that explores places a little off the beaten track so to speak, whilst touching Cannock Chase only briefly. Varied terrain throughout including a short pull up to the summit of Etchinghill.
Why not join us? You're very welcome to do so. Don't worry, we're friendly enough!
Registration: 09.45. Walk start: 10.00. Walk leaders: Jean (07419 113055) & Phil (07904 199278)
No facilities at the start but loo's available at lunchtime.
⚠️Our own members should note there's no rendezvous at Hednesford for this local walk. Please go direct to the start.
Post walk refreshments at our hosts The Chase pub.
See you all there on Sunday morning!
