Sunday 12th November

After a couple of years gap it was off to check out the Ridwares. A couple of recent diversions around Pipe Ridware tested our perseverance. The route was not helped by the missing map north the Hall Farm. All was saved by 2 half chickens at the Bowling Green. We must find somewhere else...

Now do we check every right of way on the definitive before we walk?


Start - First coffee 7½Km. Second coffee 15½Km - Finish 21½Km. Total ≈ 13½Miles.
