Location Notes:

Meet at Barnsbridge Carpark, off Ashton Road, Delamere Forest. Ashton Road runs from Mouldsworth to Hatchmere. The nearest sat nav reference is Fox Howl Education Centre WA6 6PA. Fox Howl Education Centre is at the Mouldsworth end of Ashton Road and the carpark is midway along Ashton Road. It has a blue notice board with Sandstone trail in white lettering. It is free but there are no loos here. The nearest loos are at Linmere Car park, by the Visitors Centre and you would need to allow an extra 10minutes to drive there and back. Alternatively we can incorporate a loo stop on our walking route so let me know if this is required.
