Local Walk: Baddesley Ensor & Bentley (N.Warws) Brand new route for us, around pleasant countryside passing some pretty North Warwickshire Villages, easily accessed from the A5. Logistics: Meet: 10:00 check-in, to start within 5-10 minutes, or earlier if all visible are ready. We will not be able to delay the start, as this is quite a long walk for this time of year. Distance: Around 12 miles Start Point: Cattle Market Car Park, Station Street, Atherstone, CV9 1DA. We have used this car park before for different routes. Terrain: Mix of woodland, towpath, meadows and quiet lanes. Parking: P&D public car park (inexpensive) or local roads as available. Map: Streetmap.co.uk - Map of 430666,297765 Earth View: 40 Station St - Google Maps Refreshments: Picnic stop, and a good pub stop along the way (not for full meals, as we won't be there long enough). Bring: Waterproofs & Refreshments & Good walking footwear, and clothing to match the weather. Guests: Under 16s & dogs (behaved, under control) may attend as guests. Emergency Contact: 078.137.37.623, though not available for travel advice or routine lateness problems. Today's walk leader is Paul W. Safety: As with any outdoor activity, there is some inherent risk. Whilst we aim to avoid unnecessary risks, participants should take all reasonable precautions themselves. A suitable pace for the walk will be determined by the walk leader, which others must observe by keeping in visible distance, not forging ahead or lagging behind. Those attending are totally responsible for their own safety, and must be comfortable walking the specified distance please. RSVP Commitment: Places are not unlimited, so withdrawing in the last 24 hours is impolite. Attendances shouldn't be compromised by ghosting (no-shows, late withdrawals).
