| Start Point: | Home | Grid Reference: | SD 614 373 |
| Distance: | 7.1 miles | Ascent: | 360 feet |
| Time: | 2.75 hours | ||
| Weather: | Sunny and mild | ||
| Comments: | As the weather had been very cold in the previous few days I was hoping that the ground would be frozen. There were some muddy sections but the fields weren't too bad to walk across. A pleasure to get out over fields and find some new footpaths. | ||

A child's playground . . .
or a fort guarded by a Roman soldier?
