General Notes
This walk takes in some rough and sometimes boggy ground. Walking poles will aid you in these locations. No dogs I'm afraid. This is a social walk which will be lead at a social pace which means we may finish after dark so pack a torch. Natural water sources on route will be virtually non existent. Only sources of replenishment will be the Route 46 caravan at 20 miles (google route 46 caravan cafe) cash and debit card only and a Co-op 250yds off route at 27.5 miles. So if its hot bring plenty of fluids
