Overview

High Meadow Trail in the Forest of Dean, doing it the long way round (not using the ferry). Moderate walk in the main, but a few steep climbs/descents to get the heart rate up. Wonderful views from Symonds Yat rock, Severn Sisters Rocks, Near Hearkening Rocks and the Buck Stone. If bad weather is forecast please check the group website (fodramblers.org.uk) to confirm that the walk is going ahead
