This walk has been cancelled

Unfortunately, due to increased risk of thunderstorms, I'll have to cancel this walk ( pospone it until another day). There is a Met Office warning for thunderstorms across a wide area from 12 o'clock and the route back to the cars is along a high, exposed ridge, with nowhere to shelter. I'm sorry for the short notice ( I was hoping the storm forecast would change).

It's hilly country with some very rough, uneven ground in places but we'll follow lanes, tracks, woodland and field paths for most of the walk. 282m of ascent but no really steep slopes.

 

As usual, we'll have two 'picnic' stops so bring a packed lunch and drink flask as well as water.

Mitchell's Fold parking at the end of the (very bumpy) track. There is room for a few cars to park at the start of the track - if you park here, you'll need to walk along the track to the start of the walk.
