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.
