The Grey Panthers

This walk uses well-used and popular tracks and footpaths, so that navigation should be no problem.
There are some ascents and descents, but none pose any difficulty.
Crossing field boundaries is through gates, mostly, with just one or two stiles.
In winter time and in wet weather, Green Lane can be very muddy. However, at the time this walk was made, the ground was firm underfoot all the way.

Some new mapping software is now available which you may want to try, - QUO mapping. You can download the software for free from the link below, complete with demonstration maps. Having installed QUO, you can import and export Memory Map overlays. Thus YOU DON'T NEED Memory Map to use any of the overlays provided on the Grey Panthers web site, - just use QUO!!
