Starting at Meir, go up Sandon Road to Meir Heath at the top, turn left past the Windmill Pub and go along  the (B5066) Hilderstone Road until you reach the Tee Junction at Hilderstone, turn right. Follow this road (B5066) on through the crossroads and on to the junction at Sandon, turn left along the (A51) Lichfield - Rugeley road. Follow this road through Sandon to the traffic lights at Weston, carry straight on to Hixon keep going until you reach Ed Wheetman’s Garage which is on your left at Pasturefields. The River  Trent is over the canal bridge on your right. Parking for this stretch of the River Trent is opposite the garage, and over the canal bridge. Park sensibly so any vehicles can get past.  Unfortunately at the time of going to press, Mr Vernon the owner of the stretch of the Trent, has had to put  locks on all of his gates because of his valuable livestock. This means that members will have to climb carefully over his gate to get to the river. The stretch is for two fields down and meanders on for several hundred  metres. The stretch ends at Hoo Mill Bridge Lane, you can also access the river by coming down this lane which is further down the (A51) this is the next lane on the right after Ed Wheetman’s Garage. This means that you need to drive along the lane, over the canal bridge and down the one track lane between the fields to the river bridge at Hoo Mill. If you are challenged by the owner of the lock keepers cottage which is just over the canal bridge on your right, we have been advised that you refer him to Mr Vernon. As always please park considerately.
