Walk on 24 March 2013 British Camp from Hollybush - circular walk
Our next walk will be the stunning route from Hollybush around British Camp and back.
The meet up will be at 10 a.m. at the car park in Hollybush. The parking is for free there but it is a smallish car park. The post code for the car park is HR8 1ET and it is not very clearly visible on approach.
The walking route is usually rather muddy but some kind of works are being undertaken at the moment with stones being put on the main route, which has improved matters. If it does not rain before Sunday we will manage with hiking boots as the elevated parts of the walk are mud free. However, if it rains wellies are an absolute must, otherwise you will not make it out of the forest with dry feet.
The plan is to have lunch at a restaurant at the bottom of the hill before setting of on the second part of the walk.
The restaurant is dog friendly but only clean dogs are allowed inside. However, there is a lovely sitting area outside, so provided the temperatures are not sub zero we should be fine outside. If it is really freezing the dogs are unlikely to be muddy anyway, The food was very nice and the place is likely to be much more busy than it was today. I would therefore suggest you pack some "emergency sandwiches" in case the lunch does not work out. Believe me you will be hungry by the time we get there as we will be walking up quite a few hills.
The walk consists mainly of walking up hills with some flat areas so I would class it as easy to moderate. The fitter amongst us are more than welcome to incorporate some hill training in the walk whilst the rest plod along
Here are some pics to give you a taste of the stunning views this walk offers

As usual all dogs will be walked on leads.
See you all there!
