Overview

Hello Everyone

Another local walk this Sunday taking in the countryside to the west of our starting point at Milford Common near Stafford. A mixed bag of terrain mainly on field footpaths, quiet lanes, and a stretch along the Staffordshire & Worcestershire canal. Some gentle undulations but nothing steep, plus a few stiles.

As ever, you're most welcome to join us. It'd be great if you could let us know beforehand should you be coming along for the very first time, thanks. If you've walked with us before there's no need to tell us - just turn up.

Registration: 09.15. Walk Start 09.30.  Walk leader: John (07575 266680)

Loo's available approximately a 100 yard walk from the start across the common to Brocton Lane.

Post walk refreshments venue to be advised on the day. 

Our own members should note there isn't a rendezvous at Hednesford for this local walk. Please go direct to the start.

See you there on Sunday folks!
