Overview

This is a six mile walk around the fringes of Hawksley.  It takes in urban roads and lanes, the canal towpath, and public footpaths across fields.

Please be aware -

·         That some of the field entrances and exits along the public footpaths may be muddy. 

·         There are five stiles on the route

·         We will be crossing a couple of busy roads where there are no designated crossings.

 

 

 

 

 

Please arrive in time for a 10.30am start. We will assemble near the football hut.

 

I look forward to seeing you.
