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.

The do-it-yourself extension
The Primary School is rightly proud of its new extension to the Infant building, providing a general meeting room, cloakroom and storage space. It was designed, built, decorated and paid for entirely by the efforts of the parents; and the work was completed in just three months. The only help from the Education Authority was a small grant towards the staff cloakroom facility.
On Saturday 17th October, Mrs Joan Broady, Chairman of the P.T.A. handed over the keys to Peter Mansfield, and the red ribbon was cut by Mrs Mary Poulton, declaring the extension open. Lucie White presented her with a bouquet, but the most intriguing presentation of all was the cream cake with the cherry on top given to Richard White in recognition of his work as site manager / slave driver / general organiser without which the project would never have succeeded.
Such a totally self-help project is thought to be quite unique and even got an article in the Times Educational Supplement!
