Next ARS Walk (Audlem Rambling Society)

Jeanette leading from the back

ARS at Loggerheads with Jeanette

Jeanette Shenton is leading the next ARS walk from Loggerheads on Saturday 26th February , about 6 miles with height gain of 425 feet. 2 booter.

Meet:

Audlem Car Park at 08.30

Start:

The walk starts at Loggerheads Public House (TF9 4PD) where there is free parking (but no toilets open at the beginning of the walk). I have told the landlord that some of the participants may call in for drinks afterwards.

Description:

This 6 mile gently undulating walk consists mainly of back lanes, farm tracks and some forestry, covering some of the Newcastle Way. There are good views of Shropshire and the walk passes through Hale village and past the Hale estate.

There are approx 12 stiles and when it was reccied it was quite muddy underfoot mainly in the forest areas, so poles may be useful.

There were sheep in some of the fields and some lane walking where dogs would need to be on leads, otherwise relatively dog friendly.

NB All walkers must have suitable footwear and be prepared for adverse weather, carry food and water to last for the entire walk and be suitably fit for the various lengths of walk.

Each walk is led by a nominated leader who will carry some first-aid equipment. The leader has the right to refuse to include in a group anyone who is felt not be adequately equipped.

Non-members of Audlem Rambling Society (ARS) are welcome to come on a walk but are expected to join ARS and pay the membership fee after a trial walk or two.
