Details
We will meet at Aske Estate and follow the public rights of way across the beautiful parkland to Richmond. Once at Richmond we will loop around the Georgian racecourse before returning across the parkland of the Estate. A short lowland hike aimed at those with little or no previous experience of walking in the countryside. This would also be a great starting point for those with low fitness levels or a lack of confidence in their fitness. This route is across pasture fields and through some woods for a distance of roughly 4.5 miles. Some parts may be muddy. There is some gentle ascent of approx 500ft on the route but we will take our time!
If participants would like to stay for refreshments afterwards, Mocha Aske have kindly offered us a free cake with the purchase of a hot drink.
Kiss the Moon will kindly be giving a free foot cream to all participants.

- Lead by a qualified Hill and Moorland Leader
