A new venue The Knockerdown PH Carsington, a walk to include Hognaston and in part Carsington water. 4.3 miles. On mixture of hard surfaces, grassy field paths and tracks. Some fence style stiles. The fields are truly undulating, but not unduly so. The last mile and a half will be easy going on Carsington Water path, passing sailing club and visitor centre. Coffee/tea break by the water. (2.1 miles) Dogs on Leads please.
Risk assessment
A small narrow road edge to walk along the pub frontage. Take care Traffic hazard. Fields may be slippery and rutted, take care, tripping hazard. Most of the road walking will be in Hognaston village, crossing over a couple of times, from footway to footway. Take care when walking out of the village, no footway but wide road and a good grassy verge. Hognaston Bridge is narrow and on a corner, take extra care here, as we will also need to cross the road just after crossing the bridge. Several fields with sheep, so dogs on leads at all times please.
