Walk Report

7 members and 1 guest completed the 20 mile Dava to Grantown loop mainly on the Via Regia and Dava Way paths in below average temperatures with some occasional light showers. The whole route was on vehicle and national trail tracks and paths with some shortish minor road sections, so navigating the route was very easy. The 20 mile walk was completed in just over 7 hours, so a very good pace considering we had a good lunch stop in Grantown.
