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 10th November. From Staunton Harold, led by Alison

This was nearly a maximum number of walkers for the Medium Group at 17 and even more impressive given the weather forecast of rain.

Unfortunately the weather forecast proved to be correct when rain started about 11.00am and didn’t stop.

The route was a well worn one for this group but which we hadn’t done for about 2 years and the mud was still there even after the long dry summer we have had. Over the fields towards Heath End, joined The Ivanhoe Way, Alastairs Wood, the trackbed of the old Derby to Ashby Railway Line and back to the cars via Bagshaw Woods. 4.7 miles and all were very wet at the end of it.
