Overview

A glorious round passing through fields and woods, to include Flounders Folly and Wenlock Edge, with some road walking. Amazingly there are no styles! Ideal walk for a hot summers day (in the unlikely event that we actually have one) as quite a lot of the walk is in the woods.

The route is still muddy in places so don't wear your best white trainers! We will aim to have lunch at the base of the Folly, but due to the length of the walk (quite longish) I have not arranged to have a key to the Folly itself.
