🥾 ABOUT THE WALK 🥾
We leave the long stay car park and head up Northampton Road in search of the magic archway that leads into the woods. There are a few stiles to cross as we head over a large field that often houses sheep. These are dog-friendly stiles. We weave through the tiny hamlet of Hulcote which is a bit like going back in time, before another long field. We turn right and cross the ford via the footbridge (or go through it if it is hot!).
We are then following a track which eventually leads into nun wood. Eventually, we reach the village of Shutlanger where we will stop for a break and free sweets! We then loop back along the road and follow the stream back towards Hulcote. It's not long before we are back on Northampton Road where our cars are parked.
❓ ROUND-ROBIN QUESTION: Have you ever found anything of any value when out and about? (thanks to Ann for this month's questions).
Please arrive by 9.45 am we will set off at 10 am sharp. If this is your first AG walk, then please arrive nice and early and seek out the walk leader who will be wearing a red "walk leader" pin badge.

⛑ RULES TO KEEP YOU SAFE :
- We walk in all weathers, however, if we have a weather warning then the event may be cancelled. Keep an eye on your emails and the Facebook event page for notifications of any cancellations.
- We will only ever walk in groups of 15 or less. If we have more than 15, we will usually have two walk leaders and walk in opposite directions.
- We supply free sweets at the halfway stage - we call this "squidge and dip" - hand sanitiser, then dip in for your free sweets.
