This is the walk I had to cancel in February.

Some tracks may be slippery so the use of walking poles is recommended if you use them.

Please arrive in good time for a 10am start and let the leader know in advance if you are coming. We may start early if all participants have arrived.

Optional pub lunch at the Bull at Downton. Please let the leader know by 6pm on Wednesday 1st May if you will be lunching at the pub as I need to confirm numbers. No need to preorder.
