EARL'S HILL FORAY

WHEN

Saturday 19th October 2024 at 10:30am

​​​

WHERE

Meet at the Earl's Hill car park.

​

Grid reference: SO409057

Best postcode: SY5 0UJ

What3Words: ///dignify.celebrate.grudge

​​

Approach the parking for Earl’s Hill from the A488 at Pontesford, north of Pontesbury. Take the lane heading south at SO408064, by a tractor showroom (undergoes frequent transformations of ownership and may no longer be extant), just after the ‘Speed Check’ sign. There is a small brown sign ‘Earls Hill’, hard to spot. Road is marked ‘unsuitable for coaches and HGVs’. Follow this lane for ¾ mile. Ignore a left fork, ie bear to right following ‘Road Narrows’ sign. After about 200 yards parking is on left. The parking area is accessed by a sharp left turn back on yourself.

​

Do not rely on the postcode to guide you to the exact meeting point for a foray. Postcodes in rural areas often cover a large area. The OS grid reference is more precise and unchanging. What3Words is also more precise, and the detailed instructions should also help to pinpoint the location.

​

Beginners are welcome at all forays.​
