Overview

A walk in the countryside between Nottingham and Loughborough.

Car sharing strongly recommended due to parking space only holding about 6 cars. We leave the meeting point in Walsall promptly at 08:30am.  The start time is the time the actual walk is due to start. Please notify the leader if you intend to travel direct to the walk start

Booking is not necessary for this walk. 
We regret we cannot allow dogs other than assistance dogs on this walk.

This is a joint walk with Walsall Ramblers and Sandwell Ramblers.

There will be a short drinks stop and a slightly longer lunch stop - so remember to bring a drink and a packed lunch.
