Overview

The walk today takes us down to the canal via Sixfields and into Upton Country Park. 
A gradual climb then returns us to Duston winding our way through St. Crispins, taking advantage of tracks, paths and woodland. 

Mainly good paths, some sticky patches if wet.

No Stiles.

Assistance Dogs only please..
