Overview

The walk will be along public bridleways & footpaths (mixture of tarmac, & grass) running alongside the golf course & within the National Forest.  Some paths may be muddy & uneven.

Some pics of when I last walked this route earlier this month, let’s hope we get the same blue skies on 4th December.
