Hello Everyone
Rob and Nige take the helm this Sunday for a walk starting in downtown Newport and heading out west towards Edgmond a little further west. The terrain hereabouts is mainly flat but still with some nice views. The walk features the disused Newport Canal, good footpaths in the main, quiet lanes, plus a bit of road walking in town. A couple of stiles only, but expect some muddy sections in the fields with all of the weather we've had just lately.
Fancy a day out with us? You're welcome to come along! If this is your first time with the group we'd appreciate it if you could let us know you'll be joining in so that we can look out for you. Thanks.
Registration: 09.45. Walk start: 10.00. Walk leaders: Rob (07954 170369) & Nige (07984 624810)
Loo's at the start only. Located 100 yards further down the car park.
Usual post walk refreshments and social natter to be decided upon on the day. Somewhere in Newport for certain.
See y'all there on Sunday folks!
