| Other Info: | There's a slight potential of ticks as there is long grass and undergrowth, and some uneven ground and narrow paths in places, also bramble and rose thorns, so long trousers are recommended. This area is frequented by dog walkers so common sense applies here. Additional backup Saturday 24th at the same time should the weather prove unsuitable on the earlier date. |
