As part of a GOC initiative to offer even more value to the many members who travel a long distance to join Sunday walks, there is also a shorter Saturday afternoon walk from the same start spot as Sunday's walk. Here is the link to the Saturday walk: https://www.goc.org.uk/event/a-saturday-evening-urban-ramble-around-historic-lichfield/
