Overview

Sharp eyed readers will spot this extremely similar to the walk on Tues 8th April, except;

- it is reversed

- it has been shortened by ? just over ? one kilometer for Saturday folk, who may want a longer free afternoon

From the car park of the Fleur de Lys pub we head out on the towpath, then west over Preston Fields to Preston Bagot.  Then we skirt around Bush Woods before taking the Heart of England way to head back to the start.

We may hear woodpeckers. We may see lambs.  

Some gentle ascents.  About 15 stiles.  One overgrown path if you want to bring secateurs. (It is passable).  Some mud even in dry weather.
