Walk Description:

A Midweek Morning walk of approximately 6 miles, allowing us to explore deeper into Cannock Chase and build up our personal distance. We may adjust the distance depending on the weather conditions.

The walk will be at a relaxed pace, so don't worry about speed. However, if you'd like to push the pace, please feel free to do so.

This month, we will leave the Punchbowl and head towards Milford, crossing the common and dropping onto the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal, continuing towards Canalside farm shop and cafe at Great Haywood. If time allows, we may have a quick refreshment break before heading back across the Essex bridge and making our way back through the Shugborough estate to the Punchbowl car park.

Please make sure you have some fluids with you and possibly a snack. We may stop for a coffee if time and location allow, so we will be out for 2.5 to 3 hours. 

Remember: Monthly membership gives you unlimited WALX for only £23.00 per month

It is essential to register and book in advance online.

Safety measures.

Our online health questionnaire (PARQ) asks you to update your current health status. If you feel unwell between booking your class and joining us, we ask that you err on the side of caution and cancel your booking. You will be directed to book another date or a refund can be issued.

You are asked to contact your instructor by phone, leave a voicemail, or send an SMS to the number below if you are likely to be delayed, as we start WALX promptly.

While we understand that sometimes it is not possible to make a WALX, please make every effort to advise the WALX Guide. 

We undertake to deliver all WALX with qualified staff and have made every effort to risk assess all routes. On occasions, it is necessary to make dynamic risk assessment decisions when there is a localised incident such as fallen trees on the route, flooding, traffic changes, etc.

Please ensure you have completed the online health questionnaire (PARQ) and notify us in writing if you have any changes to your medical records or physical or mental well-being. This should include any surgery, falls, knocks or accidents. Thank you.
