Overview

  • We will head out from the church for a very brief distance on pavement before taking to tracks and public footpaths.
  • The route will take us over the unused bridge to cross the A120 close to the turn off for the Frating roundabout.
  • This is a fairly flat route but we can expect some muddy stretches given the time of year. We will also negotiate some steps and there will be several footbridges on the route.
  • We will stop for a break around the half way stage, so please bring a sandwich or  snack. Given the time of year and the possibility of cold weather a hot drink may also be a good idea.
  • Unfortunately we won't pass any cafes or public toilets on this walk.
