Hello Everyone
Spring has arrived🤔, OK, well kind of arrived, so we're off on a snowdrop quest this Sunday and walk leader Heather knows exactly where to find loads of 'em. Fancy joining us? You can, and naturally you're most welcome to do so. If this is your first time with our Chase & District group it would be great if you could let us know you'll be coming along, even if that's at short notice should you be watching the weather. If you've been before just roll up.
This walk is fairly flat and features field footpaths, lanes, and a stretch of canal towpath. Ten stiles only. The going on the recon a few days ago was quite firm apart from one muddy stretch and the odd gate.
Parking isn't an issue as Heather has arranged the use of Woodseaves Village Hall car park to whom we'd like to make a nominal donation of £1 per person please. Thank you very much.👍
Registration: 09.45. Walk start: 10.00.
Post walk pub activity as is usual with us lot.
See you all there!
