Overview

Friday 15th November - 11:00 AM Start

Starting from the car park we will wander through the park along the river, using good quality paths and some field walking, making our way the the Wainwright memorial which affords great views of the surrounding area, before we make our way back down to the start point. The fields can be wet and boggy. Please bring food and drink for the lunch stop, although we can stop by the cafe in the park after the walk (If it is open)

Donations will be taken for the BBC Children In Need appeal, please be generous.
