Dear Blogger

Message forwarded by Ingrid, Oswestry Net

It's a great time of year to get out and about in the countryside - the heatwaves have gone (fingers crossed) and the green is gradually coming back. Walking with Oswestry Ramblers gives you fresh air and exercise. You might make some new friends too! 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 3 September

Non-members welcome

A 7.5 mile moderate+ walk with 1600ft total ascent. From just above Church Stretton we go through Old Rectory Wood then up Townbrook Valley to the top of the Long Mynd. Great views from Pole Bank. We descend via Round Hill and Cross Dyke (a Bronze-age earthwork) to reach the outskirts of Little Stretton. A footpath takes us back to Church Stretton. Please bring your own refreshments for coffee break and lunch. For full details see https://walks-manager.ramblers.org.uk/go-walking/group-walks/long-mynd-townbrook-valley

A 7.5 mile moderate+ walk with 1700ft total ascent. This is a hill walk to Moel Famau, a well defined and important peak prominent from many points in the area. Views are 360 degrees and far reaching. We start by following the limestone gorge of the River Alyn. Next we walk around Frith Mountain to approach Moel Famau from the north. Descent is south before turning into a large forest. We follow forest trails east to return. Please bring your own refreshments for coffee break and lunch.

A 6.5-mile moderate walk with 1000ft total ascent. A walk along the edge of the sandstone Cheshire Hills using the Sandstone trail, minor paths and lanes. We visit the trig point of Raw Head and the small settlement of Harthill. We cross the main road to Brown Knowl then ascend to the viewpoint at Maiden Castle. There are good views and interesting woodland. The route is moderate but has several ups and downs. Please bring your own refreshments for coffee break and lunch.

This moderate 6.25 mile walk starts in the historic town of Much Wenlock, passing some of its oldest buildings as we go. It then takes us through the park where the 1st modern Olympics were held in 1850, along a fabulous avenue of Lime trees. Out in the countryside, walking mostly on field footpaths and farm tracks, we follow 2 sections of the Jack Mytton Way and a section of the Shropshire Way, with views towards the Shropshire Hills, weather permitting. The terrain is mildly undulating, with a few stiles. Please bring your own refreshments for coffee break and lunch.
