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.

PLEASE NOTE NEW MEET TIME OF 09.30 AND LEAVE TIME 09.45

Tuesday 17th February. From Ashby to Hicks Lodge, led by Chris.

21 of us met at South Street, Ashby on a dry day. In an attempt to avoid the mud we headed out across the Bath Grounds and along the Measham Road to Hicks Lodge. We walked along the paths staying relatively mud free before heading back towards Ashby and the Centivo Lounge. A total of 7.5 miles.
