We are the Chase & District Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Into the hills for this one folks!
Our route is designed for a longish but gradual ascent of Gun. Excellent views if the weather is good. A little bit of road walking and 21 stiles in total. Poles recommended if you have them.
If you're up for it why not come along and enjoy a day out with us? It'd be great if you could let us know beforehand so that we don't clear off without you. Cheers.
No pub on the walk but we'll end up in one afterwards for sure.
