Overview

Setting out from Brandon we pass the Sheep Wash and then head over farm paths and open fields to Reaveley Greens from where we take quiet roads to Roddam Hall. From there we head towards Wooperton where we pick up the road again and head back towards the Sheep Wash and then the finish point in Brandon. 

Moderate difficulty, well defined paths, open fields and some road walking and will no doubt be wet and muddy in places. 

There will be a lunch stop during the walk.
