Overview

Hello Everyone 

We're off to nearby Shropshire this Sunday with a walk around Newport and the surrounding area with Richard who knows his away around these parts. His route is a mix of lanes, a former railway line, and some field footpaths which are going to be muddy for sure😬, but we're all used to that by now aren't we?

Why not join us for the day as you're most welcome to do so. Let us know you'll be coming and we'll look out for you at the start. Thank you. If you've walked with us before there's no need to advise as we'll recognise you.

Registration: 09.30. Walk start: 09.45.   Walk leader: Richard (07846 800604).

Loo's at the start.

Post walk refreshments at a pub in town of which there's a few to choose from. 

Our own members should note there's no rendezvous in Hednesford this week. Please go direct to the start.

See you there folks!
