2026 Series Walks - WE NEED YOUR HELP - GIVE IT A GO!
Fancy getting your walk route done in the year? We'd still really appreciate your help, for both Sunday's and Wednesday's, to add new interesting walks and support local pubs. So, if you're interested in using one of your own walks, or simply putting your name into the hat to help organise one, then please talk to one of the committee, and it will certainly be appreciated, and first timers will be fully supported by one of us. Alternatively, for more details, please contact our walk co-ordinator Steve Sloan using the contact details on the committee page of this website.
2026 Series Walks
SUNDAYS
The last walk 18th January was from The Horseshoe, Sywell, and it turned out to be a bt of a "pea souper" type of day but certainly went well with some moody photo's of the day taken - Waendel Walkers Club | Facebook
The next walk will be 1st February, from The Globe, Raunds. We don't often get to Raunds, so expect some new routes for most of us!
Importantly, parking for this venue is 300 meters away in Saxon Hall Car Park, Thorpe Street, Raunds, Northamptonshire, NN9 6LT
As usual, two routes will be available: circa 10km and 20km.
Note: The Coach Trip booking will be open!!!
Remember, for all normal Sunday events: As usual the desk will open around 09.30 so please do not arrive before then as the location may well have had a late Saturday and neither the venue nor the walk leader will be ready for you. We regret we continue to have to make this request but we have had a couple of complaints from our venues and we really do not wish to alienate them and thereby discourage them from hosting our events.
Coach Trip: The next Coach Trip, 12th April, will be to Staffordshire and the booking form will be open from 1st February at The Globe, Raunds. So, make a point of asking at the "desk" to get yourself on and not be dissapointed.
WEDNESDAYS
The 1st evening walk of 2026 will be on 15th April and organised by Steve Sloan, so watch this space for the location, etc.
