Sun 8 March 6 Mile Walk Etherow

Hello

Next Sunday short walk option sees a return to Etherow Country Park and a climb up to Werneth Low.

I have read Chris' walk description for his long walk option and I can repeat much of it for my walk namely

"There will be stiles, steep uphill and downhill sections which may be muddy, and some stretches with a steep drop down on one side, so poles are recommended"

Although mine is a short walk, there is almost 900 feet ascent hence the D grade for the walk. You will however be rewarded with fabulous views from the viewpoint at the top of Werneth Low where we will have lunch.

We will meet at Brooklands Metro Car Park at 1030 for car share.

For those who prefer to go straight to the start the directions are as follows
Please aim to be there before 1100
