00:00 Come with me on a 12 mile challenge from Stafford to Newport.
00:04 Starting at Lidl in Newport, you cross this road here to reach the path.
00:09 The path is 12 mile long and you can start either in Newport or Stafford.
00:13 The Newport to Stafford Greenway is a straight forward path which covers the tracks of an old railway line.
00:19 The path starts in the Shropshire countryside and crosses over to the Staffordshire border.
00:24 Along this walk you'll be walking through amazing countryside, passing through towns like Horton and Nosal.
00:31 If you want a shorter walk you can stop at Nosal and there's a pub and a canal to walk down.
00:37 There is about a minute that's on road when you get to Nosal so you have to turn right and then cross at the traffic lights and you'll be straight back on the path.
00:44 The path can be done by cyclists, walkers or even people with a pram.
00:49 There are some muddy bits that you'd have to watch out for though.
00:54 Along the Greenway there are various points where you can join on if you didn't fancy doing the whole walk.
01:00 As you reach closer to Stafford there's various information points which will tell you more information about the walk.
01:07 You can also stop off and explore Derrington, Mullelly and Green and Dudders Woods.
01:12 When you reach the point where you pass under the M6 you're near to the end of the walk.
01:17 Once completing the path we walked into Stafford, had a quick bite to eat and then caught the bus home.
