Tuesday 06m Walking Group - next 2 walks

21 May Leader: Karen Dayman. The walk will start at 10am. Meet outside the White Swan pub in Melbourne, post code DE73 8DY. What3words ///dormant.probable.processes   There is a small public car park on Castle Street and plenty of on street parking. Toilets are also available near the tea rooms at Melbourne Hall near the start point.
The walk will go around the Pool (underfoot conditions permitting!), then across some fields (with views of the Johnny Vegas Glamping site), along a track and up to a small wooded area. There are about 6 stiles in this first part - one quite high but doable. It may still be a bit muddy at the beginning of the walk so sticks could be helpful. Passing through Wilson, we'll then have a coffee break and return to Melbourne via the Cloud Trail and other dry paths.
No lunch arranged but there are plenty of options in Melbourne.   SK
