Overview

Hello Everyone.

A very local walk for us this Sunday with walk leader Betty who resides not a million miles away from the start at the Shoal Hill Tavern on the western fringe of Cannock. From here we head north taking in parts of Cannock Chase on good paths and tracks through open heathland and assorted forest & woodland later on. A little road walking is involved to join it all together. Undulating terrain warrants a Leisurely to Moderate tag for this one. There are no stiles.

Registration: 09.45. Walk start: 10.00.  Walk leader: Betty (07929 369918)

Feel free to join us! If this is your first time out with ourselves it would be great if you could let us know beforehand just so that we can look out for you at the start. Ta very much.

As we're parking at the Shoal Hill Tavern that'll be our venue for the usual post walk refreshments ☕🍺😋.

⚠️No facilities at the start or during the walk.

Our own members should note there is no rendezvous at Hednesford this week since this is a local walk.

See y'all on Sunday morning!
