This Sunday we're walking around Ticknall and Staunton Harold near Melbourne, a pleasant walk on varied terrain in this picturesque south-west corner of Derbyshire. Reasonably flat with around ten stiles. No rendezvous at Hednesford this week so please make your own way to the start and we'll see you there.
Registration: 09.45. Walk start: 10.00.
If you're new to us and fancy a good walk in good company why not come along and join in? Let us know beforehand though so we can l👀k out for you. Thanks!
Most of us will no doubt end up in the village pub afterwards 'cos that's the way we roll!
