Roger's B group took a clockwise 10 mile circular route starting from the Bickerton Poacher and heading through Bickerton Hill on the Sandstone Trail, then going past the Craft centre at Higher Buwardsley, further North we bypass Peckforton and Beeston Castles. After going through the village of Beeston we head for the Peckforton Hills and the Sandstone Trail returns us to the Inn for post festivities drinks.
