The ground is likely ro be wet & muddy in parts. Walking boots and trousers/leggings advisable, with layers and a waterproof jacket. It will be helpful to have a small rucksack with a spare layer, gloves, hat, cap, drink and snack. We will stop for a rest to soak in the gorgeous views. The walk is approx. 6-miles, we will take an enjoyable and relaxed walking pace. You are welcome as you are, whether you simply want to be guided on a walk in company, or you want to walk and talk. Come and enjoy the healing benefits nature, and connection, has to offer, for both our body and mind. I look forward to meeting you.
