We leave the Village Hall car park on foot or by car at 9.30am sharp to do a circuit of approximately two hours. You are advised, therefore, to get to the village hall by 9.25am latest. We aim to be back at the Village Hall by noon.
Dogs are welcome provided that they are put on a lead when requested. Walking boots (or wellies in wet weather) are recommended but not compulsory. Walking poles may also be beneficial. Some routes include stiles.
If you are leaving your car at the village hall to complete the walk, please park it on the road outside rather than in the car park.

Speaker: Diane Clement. Diane has a flower in bloom every day of the year in her shady Wolverhampton garden half of which only gets to see the sun for 6 months of the year. She does this through making full use of all areas of the garden and with an understanding of the needs of different plants including aspect, sun and moisture. She will share her knowledge and take us through a detailed look at planting round her garden at all times of year. She promises lots of practical ideas for increasing the flowering season.
Diane is also a specialist in growing alpines and woodland plants and has recently been awarded the Lyttel Trophy for making an outstanding contribution to the world of alpine plants. If you have any queries in those areas, save them for the Q&A after the talk.
