The Medium Walking Group

Co-ordinator:   Alison Thompson - mediumwalk@ashbyu3a.co.uk - phone 07930 557432

The leader will be at the meeting place whatever the weather and only cancel the walk in consultation with those who turn up on the day. All dogs must be kept under control at all times. Walking boots or strong shoes are recommended. Be prepared for bad weather by taking warm WATERPROOF clothing. Leaders act in a voluntary capacity. All ramblers walk at their own risk.

NOTE
The walk leader is responsible for advising the webmaster of the start point of the walk, and afterwards sending him a walk report. The first aid box and list of emergency contacts will be passed on after each walk to the next leader or to Alison.

Monday 11th March. Staunton Harold Reservoir, led by Alison

We were a smaller group this month with just 8 walkers and this included a new person to our group - welcome Lynn and hope to see you again.

The day before our walk it had rained non-stop all day so it was a forlorn hope that the going would be good and it is so good when you are proved right. In fact one of our members proclaimed that it was the worst walk ever for mud - another first for the medium walking group!!!

After walking along the side of the reservoir to Broadstone Lane, we took the fields to the Ticknall Limeyards. Into Ticknall and onto Robin Wood, St Brides (where the epic mud was situated), Riding Bank, Robinsons Hill and back to the car park. Just about 4.5 miles and 2 hours later.
