Overview

This is the last ramble of the winter and we will be seeing out the season with a six mile hike , starting and ending at the Ram Inn in Ibstock. We will take in Overton Road, the quietest road on NW Leics (I know - we've all heard that one before), carefully negotiating a ford, Battram Woods and returning to the Ram via Pretoria Road which is (mostly) a traffic free footpath.
