Overview

Join us for a Wednesday morning short walk on the south-western edge of Cannock Chase featuring forest and open heathland. Mostly on good firm paths and tracks with the possibility of a climb to the summit of Huntington Mound. We'll take it easy by the way.

There's talk of a pub meal afterwards too should you fancy that, or just a coffee perhaps.

Let us know if you're coming along  beforehand please so that we can keep an eye open for you. Cheers.
