Sat
30th Mar 1.30pm | BROWN MOSS AND BACK - walk amended Due to a waterlogged Brown Moss, the walk will be slightly amended. We will cross a few fields towards Broughall and head towards the Moss. Our walk on the Moss itself will be very limited, but we will be able to stop and admire it from the lanes. We head to "Chef in the Woods" for some welcome refreshments; there will be some snacks available to buy, aswell as hot drinks. The fields aren't too muddy but please bring suitable footwear! We will also have 2 easy stiles to climb (although 1 of those has a gate to pass through). The walk will be circa 6 miles. You are welcome to bring your own refreshments with you, and dogs on leads are welcome. | Jan

Save Our Driving Centre! It currently looks like the DVSA have utilised the RAAC problems at the Civic Centre as an excuse not to house the driving centre there. Local MP Helen Morgan and others are campaigning against this decision. See article from Whitchurch Herald | 2024 Walking Festival - save the dates! Our next Walking Festival will be held Friday 10th to Sunday 12th May. More details are on our Festival page. | ||
Shropshire
council rights of way have closed all the footpaths off Greenfoot lane
from 22/06/23 for public safety reasons whilst work is carried out
on the development in the area. There is an alternative for the 1st path on the right 0233/122/ which goes through the cricket ground to the Hatton way. There are no alternatives given for the other 5 rights of way, including the path that crosses the by-pass, part of our Belton bracer walk. The closures will remain in place until July for some paths and December for others. |
