Overview

Say goodbye to the old year with a short, but quite energetic, walk exploring some of the lost paths on Chase Hill. We will find pathways which haven't been used for years, hidden rocky outcrops and a view of a newly created reservoir in the valley below.

Quite a lot of trees have fallen across these old logging pathways; an ability to limbo-dance might be useful.

This is a pioneering style of walk and a walking pole is strongly advised.
