We are the Chase & District Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
A lovely forestry plantations & heathland walk on the Chase mostly on good wide tracks including the Heart of England Way. We'll visit a couple of war memorial sites too all being well. Some hills but nothing too steep.
This is an ideal introductory event for newcomers with just a little bit of walking experience under their belt. Why not come along and join us? Let us know beforehand if possible please, even if that's an hour or so before the start. Thank you.
Registration: 18.30. Walk start: 18.45 prompt.
