We are the Chase & District Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Hello Everyone
Where's Jack Frost when you need him? We've had loads more rain recently and could do with a freeze to firm up the ground somewhat, especially since we're walking near the Trent Valley from Yoxall this Sunday, but away from the river.
During the recon on Monday the going was decidedly soft in certain places, although there wasn't any sticky mud to contend with on this relatively flat walk featuring field footpaths, good tracks, and quiet country lanes. Pending underfoot conditions on the day we may tweak the route to include more lanes which will also cut down on the number of stiles (currently approximately 20) and the total mileage.
Assuming I haven't put you off (😬😳😬) you're most welcome to join us of course!
Registration: 09.45. Walk start: 10.00.
Pub afterwards to be decided upon.
See you all there!
Directions: Primarily intended for our own members but good for anyone traveling from south of the start venue.
From your home location pick up the A515 off the A51 north of Lichfield, direction Ashbourne, and proceed northbound on the A515 for 6 miles via Kings Bromley to enter Yoxall. Follow the course of the road through the village, around the double bend opposite the church followed by the school as the road bends right and straightens out.
From this point continue for 200 yards where the new tarmac car park is located immediately on your left behind a fence/hedge 75 yards before the mini island. ⚠️Take care please as it is very easy to miss the entrance. ⚠️Please note there is a 2 metre height restriction barrier over the entrance.
Anglesey Street rail station car park Hednesford, Staffordshire, adjacent to Hednesford Ex-servicemen's Club midway down the street, not the car park behind Poundstrecher closer to the town centre. Meet here at 08.50 for a prompt 09.00 departure.
Yoxall public car park, King Street (A515), Yoxall, Staffordshire. No charges. ⚠️2 metre heigh restriction.
