Walk Infomation
The Walk: This "taster" walk is fairly flat and no stiles, but might be muddy. It includes a small section of the first ever walk by the club. Next year is the 50th anniversary of that walk and then we shall be retracing the entire route. Kids questions are available on our "taster" walk.

The Venue: Meals are served all day from 12.00 noon, a varied selection, not particularly cheap but good helpings! Plenty of seating inside the pub, out in front, and in the large garden to the right of the pub, but it will be busy if the weather is fine. Parking is available in their car park, entrance beyond the pub, and in the overflow car park behind that.

2,	What is the second culinary decoration?
3,	What do misspelt low kadgers have to do?

Stage I
Turn left out of the pub and follow the road to a signpost on the right where you turn into a path through the woods. Follow this path straight on past a notice board and stage ends just before you get on to the golf course.

4,	Does this mean you should overtake the horse?
5,	Away team won by 21.

Stage II
Carry on across the course and then into trees, finally reaching a signpost where you turn sharp left. Coming out on a broad path turn left then immediately right up a slope. Stage ends at a signpost on right.

6,	Sounds like you ate tea already, right?

Stage IV
Keep on this path until you reach a tarmac road, then go left on this for about a quarter mile and then turn right on to a public bridleway. Keep straight on this, crossing two roads and joining path by high fence, going left, then reaching end of stage near gate to Colley Hill. There are no clues on Colley Hill and walk continues through door on left, but you may want to go through gate on to the hill for a rest and to see the view.

14,	Of doubtful value if you want to rise in the world.
15,	You can work out what this is; e.g. billet, slat.
16,	They are behind you, and you are adrift. You'd better hurry back to the bar.
17,	Someone's been playing sandcastles with concrete. How many?
