Preston Playing Field – Short walk from Community Hall

Walking

The next in our series of exercise walks. *** However, on this occasion, whilst trying out the walk, I got slightly confused at Stage 4 below. So if any keen walkers out there, whilst on their daily exercise, could help me complete Stage 4 to be clearer instructions, it would be most appreciated! Email me at hu12@gmx.com or post in the comments below, please? *** – Ray Duffill.
