Easter Monday Walk

Hodnet Footpath Group invite anyone who fancies a country walk to join them on Easter Monday (17th April) for a walk in the Fauls area.
Meet outside Fauls church for a 10.00 AM departure, the aim being to walk all or most of the route shown in our Hodnet Walks [no 7] leaflet. This is a good way of getting to know some lcoal routes and seeing our area from a different [non-car!] vantage point. This is a varied circular walk, estimated duration 1.5 – 2 hrs.
Suitable/sensible clothing advised, children and dogs welcome – the latter on leads.
In the event of appalling weather [we do seem to choose some ‘good’ dates in that regard!] the walk will be cancelled, see website 30 min beforehand, but otherwise ‘no news is good news’.
Any queries call 01630 685286
