We are the Chase & District Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Hello Everyone
We're walking locally again this Sunday with joint leaders Jean & Phil at Colton a couple of miles north of Rugeley. Their route takes us further north to Admaston on the southern edge of Blithfield Reservoir and nearby Blithfield Hall. Rolling countryside with field footpaths and farm tracks in the main along with approximately twenty stiles make this a Moderately graded event.
As always you're very welcome to join us. First ever time with Chase Ramblers? Excellent, but let us know you'll be coming along if possible a day or two beforehand please, thanks. We look forward to meeting you.
Registration: 09.45. Walk start: 10.00. Walk leaders: Jean & Phil (07419 113055 Jean, 07904 199278 Phil).
