Mallards Pike, Forest of Dean (about 2.5 hours)

This is around a 5 mile loop from Mallard's Pike, with optional swimming! There is a nice cafe with food/drink options afterwards, and picnic tables by the lake. It's all off-lead and fairly flat through the woods.

The lake is near Blakeney on the A48, follow the signposts for Go Ape! GL15 4HD once you pass Blakeney. There is a fee for the car park, I think £5 (or you can park opposite the turning on the main road and walk 5 mins to avoid this). Meet in the car park near the ticket machine and loos.

We ask regular walkers to make a suggested donation of £10 a year to cover our Meetup subscription costs of around £200 a year, with any extra going to charity. Ask Ben for bank transfer details or pay by card (one-off or monthly) here:
