The Baschurch to Myddle road will re-open on

One wonders what the heck they are doing to take so long.

PLEASE close Bridge Field pedestrian gate

Dear Blogger

Message from Trish Allan, Bridge Field

Please would people be sure to firmly close the pedestrian gate onto Bridge Inn field.

It is being left wide open from time to time, and there are frequently off-lead children and dogs

on the field, who could easily escape on to the road.

Thank you.

Details of great walks with Oswestry Ramblers

Dear Blogger

Message from Diane Gray <dianeegray@gmail.com> forwarded by Ingrid Knowles, Oswestry Net

Oswestry Ramblers has over 180 members and we offer a varied programme of great walks. We usually walk twice a week, on Thursdays and Sundays. We are a friendly group and like to chat as we walk. There are usually about 10-20 people on our walks. New adult members of all ages are very welcome, you don't have to join immediately but can come as a guest on three walks to try us out.  

Some walks are close to Oswestry and others further afield in Shropshire, north and mid Wales, Cheshire and sometimes on the coast. We enjoy exploring villages, woodlands, valleys, and local meres and mosses, as well as the Welsh and Shropshire hills. We also organise social events, group holidays and help maintain and improve nearby footpaths.

Here are details of our upcoming walks, along with links to the Ramblers website where full details of all our walks are available.

Thursday 4 December

Non-members welcome

A 6.5-mile moderate walk from Cockshutt Village Hall. We will head via lanes, tracks, bridleways and fields towards Loppington Grade I listed church, this will be our lunch stop. From here we complete the circular walk through Woodgate Brown Heath and English Frankton back to Cockshutt. Please bring refreshments for two stops: lunch and coffee. For full details see https://www.ramblers.org.uk/go-walking/group-walks/loppington-loop

Sunday 7 December

Non-members welcome

A 6-mile leisurely walk from Merrington travelling through lanes, fields and tracks heading towards Myddle. Some climbing but nothing too arduous. Maybe muddy in places but the sandstone area makes it easier to drain. Coffee and lunch stops, bring your own refreshments. For full details please see https://www.ramblers.org.uk/.../merrington-green-myddle

Sunday 14 December

Non-members welcome

A 7-mile leisurely walk exploring the wide open spaces of Fenn's, Whixall and Bettisfield Mosses National Nature Reserve, on both sides of the border. Our route will be flat and is likely to be squelchy in some places, waterproof boots recommended. From Morris' bridge we will cross Whixall and Fenn's mosses on the trails and visit the viewing tower. Then we will join the old tramway to Bettisfield, circumnavigate Bettisfield Moss and return via a short section of the Ellesmere canal (Prees branch). Please bring your own refreshments for coffee break and lunch. For full details see https://www.ramblers.org.uk/.../fenns-whixall-and...

Thursday 18 December

Non-members welcome

A 6-mile leisurely, relatively level circular walk from Ruyton XI Towns along field footpaths and some quiet country lanes to the churches of Little Ness and Great Ness, finishing near the church in Ruyton XI Towns, all of which should be decorated ready for Christmas.
