No stiles, and the only muddy bit was the slope a couple of fields away from the finish. 

Registered assistance dogs welcome but all other dogs are discouraged due to the probability of grazing animals in some fields.

Please make sure you're fit enough and have the right footwear and clothing for the walk. Walking poles would be an advantage in some places. 

Please consider car sharing arrangements with other members to reduce the pressure on parking spots at the start of the walk.

 In the event of severe weather, please contact the leader on the morning to check the walk is still on.
