Recent wet weather will no doubt mean some muddy paths, so poles would be a good idea if you use them. There is a chalky descent and a short steep ascent at Pitton.

Bring a picnic lunch, drinks and snacks as required.

Please let the leader know you are coming as we may leave early if all expected have arrived.
