Please make sure that you are fit enough to undertake the walk you intend to join. If you’re unsure of your fitness level, try a short and easy walk first: it’s much better to find a walk a little too slow and easy than to make yourself miserable and exhausted. Most Ramblers’ walks are off-road in rural areas. Please have suitable footwear and clothing for the walk you intend to join, and bring some food and drink, even if the walk includes a pub or café break. Leaders may refuse to accept participants who in their opinion are inadequately equipped or unfit. When in doubt, contact the organisers or the walk leader in advance. For your own and others’ safety please read and abide by any advice and guidelines issued by the organisers, and the instructions of the walk leader. Though walking is inherently one of the safest outdoor activities, no activity is completely without risk and it is your responsibility to behave sensibly and to minimize the potential for accidents.
Attendance on some walks needs to be booked in advance. For details (updated 06/03/22) see here.

Starting at Newent Broad Street/ Court Lane Car Park (GL18 1AR) we'll head out of town doing battle with the pedestrian crossing lights to the other side of the B4221 before turning right down a quiet lane to find the hidden entrance to the Geopark Way. The path leads us along the banks of the old Hereford to Gloucester canal which met its demise when the railway arrived following much the same route before going much same way some years later.
Leaving the canal bank we'll turn right up a little land past the ancient looking Brook Cottage and into fields. The route loops left before joining a lane which will take us past Holders Farm, past Oxenhall Court and back to the canal. On the final leg we'll have a look at the old canal and railway bridge before wandering back to the cars. w3w: blacken.glorified.perkily
