What to Expect

A 13 mile walk mainly on good tracks and small lanes, some tracks may be uneven and a little overgrown in places, expect a bit of mud after a period of rain. There will be rolling hills but no steep climbs, total ascent 700ft and we will maintain a pace of just over 3mph.

This is a pleasant, but reasonably challenging walk due to the distance and will be suitable for anyone with a moderate to good standard of walking fitness.
