Full description: 

Starting from Wetton, we head towards Ecton, taking a short loop up towards Hulme End and the little visitor centre there via a section of the Manifold way. We then head back along the River Manifold, stopping for tea if we fancy (or ‘not tea’ if you are a true Asguardian) at Wetton Mill. Finally, saving the grand finale to the last and, hopefully, least populated time of day, we go to Thors cave before heading back to the Royal Oak at Wetton for a drink worthy of a warrior!

Living up to the name, this will be a fairly fast-paced walk (requiring a good level of fitness).

Public transport or car sharing options: 

Unfortunately there is no convenient public transport to the start. Please arrange car shares in the Meetup comments!
