Spring has sprung and the clocks have changed, Easter is upon us. Why not walk off all that chocolate with Oswestry Ramblers! 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:

A 6.5 mile leisurely walk, relatively level, mainly on footpaths through fields and along quiet country lanes. We shall be starting at Rodington, visiting the picturesque, historic, village of Upton Magna, then on to Withington, with views of Haughmond Hill in the distance. There are a few stiles and expect some mud after rain. There will be 2 stops, one for coffee and one for lunch. Please bring your own refreshments.

A 5.5 mile moderate walk to see the Gatten Valley daffodil field (Walk 33 from the Shrewsbury Ramblers' book of 20 new walks). The uphill stretches are short, if quite sharp, interspersed with easier level tracks and lanes. The views of Cothercott, the Long Mynd and the Stiperstones are stunning. Last year there were plenty of daffodils still in bloom. Please bring your own refreshments for coffee break and lunch.
