Terrain:
We have to cross a busy road. Please be careful and only cross if you see it is safe to do so. Most of the route is on footpaths, but a few times we have to walk along the road without pavements. Please watch out for cars and walk in single files. Some parts might be wet or muddy, so waterproof boots are recommended.
Please inform the walk leaders if you are leaving before the walk is finished.
We respect nature and people and follow the countryside code: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-countryside-code/the-countryside-code-advice-for-countryside-visitors
