Overview

A return to Pendeford for us this Sunday located just to the northwest of Wolverhampton. It's a nice walk and pretty much flat throughout featuring field footpaths, a canal towpath, and some road walking on quiet lanes. Approximately 10 stiles.

Registration: 10.00*. Walk start: 10.15.

Fancy a day out with ya boots on?🥾🥾. If so you're most welcome to join us, although if this is your very first time with Chase Ramblers it'd be cool if you could drop us a line to tell us you're coming along so we can l👀k out for you. Thanks! 

*Please note the gates at Pendeford Mill Nature Reserve officially open at 10.00 and close at 16.00. Wolverhampton Council own the facility but at weekends the opening/closing is contracted to a security company that have to travel there as well as to other sites. Usually they're on time but may be a few minutes late very occasionally.
