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 January. From Hartshorne, led by Alison

A really good turnout this month with 17 of us meeting up for the 1st walk of the New year. We had 4 new members to our group and hope to see them again in the future.

From the car park on Manchester Lane we set off up the side of the churchyard and through the Ladyfields Plantation, along Mereoak Lane and onto Heath Lane. At this point the walk leader was given a 10 out 10 for mud control but then the group had to cross 2 muddy fields and so the perfect score was down graded - well it is January!!

It was then back to the car park via Several Wood in time for our traditional winter lunch at the Bull's Head at 12.30. 4.5 miles completed.
