A walk around High Shincliffe and Shincliffe Village. The route includes some field and woodland paths that can be very muddy, and a steep ascent to High Butterby. On the recce, the entrance to Strawberry Lane was waterlogged, if it remains so then we will continue on the farm track to the road, and follow this back to the walk start. We need to cross the A177 twice, care needed.
