Overview

This is a leisurely, flat walk. Apx 6 miles, no break but water stops  as necessary.

Meet on the corner of Lightfoot lane and Lightfoot Green lane, next to the Grasshoppers Rugby Club.   
This walk takes a short path along the Guild Wheel, before following a little stream,  through fields, maybe muddy,  to pick up a road behind Toplands Deer farm, were hopefully we will see the deer.  We continue to follow the deer field via little paths and back over the footbridge of the M55.   From here we continue along roads before following the railway line back to the car.  There is a cut off point about 5 miles if u prefere a shorter walk.
