We’ve been talking about arranging a day out for the SE Fitness Walkers and here it is timed perfectly to coincide with summer and with Jenny’s return (we hope)!
Date: Thursday 30th June
Meet: Coach pick up at Wyndley Leisure Centre at 9.30am
Arrive: Cannock Chase Visitor Centre at around 10.30am. We will be here for around two hours. The Visitor Centre has a café, Information centre and toilets.
We will lead two different walks from the Visitor centre.
Walk 1 – Just under 5 miles across glorious Cannock Chase.
The paths are gravel paths with loose stones. They are not muddy but the surface is uneven with some steep parts. Perfect for Walk Plus and some Walk Fit. Two or three leaders means we can cope with a variety of different pace.
Walk 2 – Shorter walk on the Brindley Heath Trails.
If you wish to avoid the uneven surface and stick to tarmac trails then Jenny will lead a shorter walk. Some of these roads were part of the former RAF base. Suitable for Wednesday Walkers and Walk Fit.
Depart: We leave Cannock Chase at around 12.30 and head to the pub for Lunch. We are considering The Trooper at Wall because it is on the way home. They do a fixed price lunch at £9 for one course or £12 for two.
Home: Our aim is to be back at Wyndley by about 3.30.
Costs
We can only confirm exact costs once we know numbers. But as a guide:
- Coach between £10 and £15 per head.
- Maximum number 30 and we need a minimum of 20 to make the trip viable.
- Lunch at The Trooper – 1 Course £9, 2 Courses £12. Their standard menu is Starter and Main but no pudding (what!). We can arrange dessert by negotiation!
To Book a Place
At this stage all you need to do is say you want to come! Oh, and let me know if you’ll want pudding!
Email helyn@sefitness.com, Text 07788 628755 or put your name on the list on the board. The coach companies are very busy so we can’t delay. Deadline for letting me know you are interested: Thursday 2nd June
Once we have final numbers we will confirm the price and finalise arrangements with the coach and the pub.
I do hope you can join us I hope it will make a nice day out and the perfect way to welcome Jenny back.
