First of all, please note that this is a Saturday walk, not a Sunday.
As the name states, this is a beautiful autumnal walk. It goes along Hoxall Lane to avoid the (likely) mud, and takes in Mottistone Church, the Longstone, Grammars Common and Gaggerhill Farm to return to Brighstone. And there's a treat possibly awaiting you: Calon Cafe and Bistro in Brighstone offer superb coffee and cake.
Bring food if you need it, and a drink.
New walkers welcome. If you are new to the Ramblers you can just turn up for any of our walks, unless we specify otherwise. We invite you to come along for three walks as a non-member.
Additional Notes
Depending on the weather, consider suitable, clothing, footwear, walking poles, sun cream, drinks, and food. Walking poles can be particularly useful in winter in helping you to stay upright! Watch out for ticks and remove ASAP. If you are unsure about your ability to undertake this walk, please contact the walks leader. If you need to leave the walking group, please ensure you inform the leader or back marker.
Please note that there may be short sections of road walking, so please walk in a single file and take good care.
Wise to look at the website on the day just in case of any changes or additional info. And in the event of extreme weather please check back for cancellation notices.
Emergencies
It's very rare that an emergency occurs, but we may need info about
- Any health concerns that you have
- Any emergency contact information
We'd ask you to make sure that we have ready access to this, if needed.
