July walks with Oswestry Ramblers

Dear Blogger

Message from Oswestry Ramblers

Now that the weather has cooled down a bit, it's ideal for getting out into the fresh air and taking some exercise in congenial company. Come and walk with Oswestry Ramblers and make new friends! You don't have to be a member, you're welcome to try us out (but we do ask that you join once you've been out with us 3 times). We're a friendly group and we like to chat as we go along. Here's where we're off to in the next couple of weeks:

Thursday 2 July

Non-members welcome

A pleasant 7-mile, moderate circular walk starting from Malpas heading south to Lower Wych, Higher Wych and round about incorporating footpaths and lanes, with some stiles. Likely to come across livestock. There will be a coffee and lunch stop, so please bring provisions. For full details see https://www.ramblers.org.uk/go-walking/group-walks/wyches-malpas

An 8.5-mile moderate walk. From Newcastle on Clun the walk follows Offa's Dyke Path and the Shropshire Way with extensive views. From Hergan there are  excellent vistas over the Shropshire Hills, while Cefns Ridge provides panoramic views in every direction. A hike on a mix of paths, tracks, and quiet country lanes. Please note there are some steep climbs and descents. Please bring your own refreshments for coffee break and lunch.

A moderate 5.5-mile walk with 1300ft total ascent, with some steep and rough sections. We walk up Moel-y-Faen and Moel-y-Gamelin, through the spoil heaps of the Berwyn Slate Quarry and return through the Horseshoe pass. Using paths and tracks, there is a short steep ascent on a narrow path towards the end of the walk. Sections of the walk are on exposed hillside, so please have suitable layers. Great views, weather permitting. Bring refreshments for x2 stops. For full details please see https://www.ramblers.org.uk/go-walking/group-walks/llantysilio-hills

Thursday 23 July

A 6.3-mile leisurely circular walk, mostly on field footpaths and along one of the banks of the Rea Brook, through the Rea Brook Nature Reserve. The route leads us past the Sharpstone Quarry with its fossilised tree remains, past the Greek Orthodox Church and along part of the Shropshire Way. There will be good views of the South Shropshire Hills, weather permitting. Expect stiles and mud. There will be one stop for coffee and one for lunch, please bring your own refreshments.
