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 8th June. From Moira Furnace, led by Alison
12 of us - 11 ‘oldbies’ and 1 ‘newbie’ - met at Moira Furnace on a slightly wet morning, hence the group photograph under the furnace bridge. Fortunately, the rain did not last too long and it turned out quite a pleasant morning.
After crossing Measham Road we took a very concealed footpath to Hicks Lodge. Skirting the lake, we then crossed Willesley Lane and into Oakthorpe Colliery Park, past the pit head markers and onto Pastures Lane to Oakthorpe. Onto Donisthorpe, through the Woodland Park and back to the Furnace. 5 miles completed.
