Overview

A chance to burn off a few calories before the festive season and if you like wear a bit of glitter. From the Discovery Centre we will walk in the Shropshire Hills around Craven Arms. Hill climbing is mainly gradual, (at a pace to suit all) and hopefully we will be rewarded with panoramic views of the local hills and beyond. On returning optional refreshments are available at the Centre.

Please bring food and drinks for the usual elevenses and lunch stops.

Sorry no dogs allowed.
