The Walking Group

Leader:  Kevin Green - walks@ashbyu3a.co.uk - phone 07470 227536

The leader will be at the meeting place whatever the weather and only cancel the walk in consultation with those who turn up on the day. No dogs please. Walking boots or strong shoes are recommended. Be prepared for bad weather by taking warm WATERPROOF clothing. Leaders act in a voluntary capacity. All ramblers walk at their own risk.

If you are going to be delayed or you need to contact the leader for any other reason, their mobile numbers are given below.

NOTE
The walk leader is responsible for advising the webmaster of the start point of the walk, and afterwards sending him a walk report. The first aid box and list of emergency contacts will be passed on after each walk to the next leader or to Kevin Green.

Anybody who would like a lift please contact Kevin via mobile or email and I'll arrange with a driver.

Tuesday 18th November. Lapworth, led by Kevin

After a slightly longer drive than normal, seventeen of us all arrived within a few minutes of each other at the Punchbowl Pub at Lapworth and gathered for the group photograph.

Turning left from the pub car park we followed a quiet road and passed some very expensive houses for a few hundred metres and then turned left onto an old drive into the National Trust, Packwood Estate. Following a quick toilet stop we continued along short road section and joined the towpath of the Stratford and Avon canal.

Stopping for coffee by a series of locks we continued to the junction of the Grand Union canal under the main railway line and joined the Heart of England way into the National Trust, Baddesley Clinton Estate. On leaving the estate we passed some very happy pigs wallowing in mud and rejoined a short section of road back to the Punchbowl for lunch.
