The Medium Walking Group

Co-ordinator:   Alison Thompson - mediumwalk@ashbyu3a.co.uk - phone 07930 557432

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. All dogs must be kept under control at all times. 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.

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 Alison.

Monday 13th April. From Grace Dieu, led by Alison

15 of us met on a lovely spring morning at the car park for Grace Dieu Priory (better known as The Bulls Head car park!) on the A512 at Thringstone. There were 4 ‘newbies’ to the group and, hopefully, we haven’t put them off too much and will see them on future walks.

The walk took us through the woods along the Grace Dieu trail, eventually crossing Turolough Road and into Cademan Woods. We passed some impressive rock formations en route including Calvary Rock, Reg’s Crack and High Cademan. Along Warren Lane and back into Grace Dieu Woods and the Priory.

It was quite a short walk at 4.3 miles but we had sunshine, bluebells, an impressive viaduct, a bubbling stream and an ancient monument - what more could you ask.
