Moorlinch to Sutton Mallet 5.5 mile circular walk with optional shared lunch

Meet point
We will meet at the Ring O Bells pub at 10:15am and drive up to Ed’s field to park. We will NOT be parking in the pub car park - this is just the meet point and we will follow in convoy to field. Alternatively, please park considerately in neighbouring roads.

Walk
Ed will be leading this walk which will be a 5.5 mile circular walk passing Sutton Mallet church.

Pace of walk
For those new to the group, please consider the distance we are walking and the pace. We tend to average 3 miles per hour on varied terrain. Feel free to message walk lead directly if you wish to discuss further.

Optional lunch
We should return to the Ed’s barn/field by 1pm where we plan to have a shared lunch. If you wish to stay for shared lunch, suggest bringing your own crockery and please add in the comments below what you’re bringing to ensure we get a range of food (e.g. quiche, salad, crisps, grapes, cake etc). Please be mindful of the recent hot weather we have had and ensure food is kept at appropriate temperature in cool boxes if required.

Please note that there are bathroom facilities at the barn.

Dogs
Due to some restrictive stiles the walk is only suitable for small/medium sized dogs. Please ensure dogs are kept on a lead at all times to protect ground-nesting birds during the breeding season.
