Overview

Meet at Garrison Church Homefield Road for a circular walk to Stanway walking around Gosbecks to Olivers farm and then along Leas Lane to the Zoo and through the quarry. 

Lunch will be at Lakelands Community Centre where there are toilets and the volunteer run cafe offers hot drinks and snacks. They don't mind if you eat your own food outside but would appreciate you buying a drink. 

We return through Stanway Green and Gosbecks to the car park.
