The walk will start at 08:00 from the parking area for the Cork Oak Plantation.  Soon after entering the National Arboretum, just starting up Forest Drive, turn right onto Cork Oak Rd, drive to the end and park.  We will first explore ‘scrubby’ land before the Cork Oak Plantation, then the Plantation.  Following this we’ll retrace our steps, then climb the (small) hill through the Himalayan Cedars to the “Wide Brown Land” sculpture. From there we’ll head to the STEP block (Forest 20), after which those who are interested can visit the cafe for appropriate refreshments and a chat, and others can return to their cars at Cork Oak Plantation.

The outing will take about 2-3 hours. Water, sun hat and good walking shoes will be required.
