Overview

Paul is leading a 10 mile Easy Hills walk.

Starting from the village we will head down Louise street towards The Straits and join onto Cotwall end nature reserve. We will climb up the hill and join Sandyfields Road and drop down through the Brownswall estate. We will head towards Penn , but turn off towards The Northway estate climbing through the park and up and over Sedgley Beacon. The first pub will be the Beacon Hotel where we will stop for around 20-30 mins before heading towards Beacon Hill school going through the park and climbing again to Upper Gornal to the Jolly Crispin, where we will stop again for another drink. Then we will walk down to the Britannia pub, the Windmill, the Chapel The Fountain , Bulls Head and maybe the Bush if still standing. there is also an option of going for a curry at the Raj at the end if any takers. The walk will be around 10 miles with the first pub at around 5 miles.
