Overview

We all know Chase hill....but do we? this is a short, but quite energetic, walk exploring some of the lost paths that we found in lockdown! We walk the pathways which haven't been used for years, find hidden massive rocky outcrops and  view of a newly created reservoir in the valley below.

The walk has its strenuous moments, but we can take it in stages!

Quite a lot of trees have fallen across these old logging pathways; an ability to limbo-dance might be useful.

This is a pioneering style of walk and a walking pole is strongly advised.
