The Trail is 3 miles in length and takes, with stops at each site, approximately 3 hours. The trail follows paths which can be muddy in wet weather so appropriate footwear is advised. It is suitable for people of any age and no previous knowledge is required! Walks start from the Mansion House Visitors Centre at 1.15 PM on the following dates (all Saturdays): March 10th, May 12th, July 14th, September 8th &amp; November 10th. <BR><BR> The walks are free and no booking is required but for further information contact Bill Fraser on 0113 2608764 or email w.fraser@btinternet.com <BR><BR> A booklet, 'Roundhay Park - A Walk Back in Time' (24 pages, full colour) which describes the marked geology trail in Roundhay Park is also available. It is a combined effort between LGA members, who provided the idea and the content, and <A href="http://www.forp.co.uk/" style="color:#FFFFFF" target="_blank">Friends of Roundhay Park</A>, who provided the help on the ground. It can be found in various local outlets for £1.00 or by post from the following address on receipt of a cheque (made out to Friends of Roundhay Park) for £1.50.
