Well behaved dogs under close control may come along, some fields may have stock in them

General Notes
This is the second part of a trail that Chris Burns wanted to do, she had the ‘guide book’ but unfortunately, she ran out of time to get it done. We are working from that guidebook and hope that you will all remember Chris's enthusiasm & humour when you walk with us today. Part 1 is on another day in September
