philjay Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 Its well worth a walk John, plenty of good cafes as well, but take a map and compass. Even though its close to civilisation its big and one valley looks much the same as another, many folk have got lost. Me included in the early days:-) Ive been walking and cycling on the chase for over 20 years and I never tire of it. Mark, my dads polish and he always used to say, "If you can peel it then its edible, but there are a few exceptions to that rule" Its those exceptions Im nervous of :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
