We usually stop for a coffee break an hour or so into the walk, and stop for packed lunch around 1230-1300 although weather and a suitable location will affect both timings.

The walk leader has assessed this walk for the following risks, but during the walk others may become evident.  You will come across, stiles, gates and other path furniture, hedges etc.  You may come across road crossings, fields with crops, muddy/slippery sections, farm livestock & warning signs.  You should remain stay alert and take individual responsibility
