2025 Series Walks
SUNDAYS:
Our last walk was from The Robin Hood, Clifton Reynes. A shame about the rain but, like the Grand Prix, we battled through it to find an amazing walk, organised by Darren Panter, our Club Person of the year!!
The next series walk will be 20th July from The Fox Inn, Hallaton, LE16 8UJ, where, as usual, two routes will be available: 10km and 20km. From memory, another new venue but tell me if I'm wrong.
Remember, for other 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.
WEDNESDAYS
The recent Summer Series of walks was from Brixworth Cricket Club and what an amazing new venue that was, with beautiful views on route, all thanks to Gill Long.
The next on 23rd July 2025 is from The Lilacs, Isham, NN14 1HD. Starting at 5.30 - 6.00pm. A classic venue and a great pub, serving amazing food and a selection of real ale. Not to be missed!!
An old picture - luckily it's not a Green King pub anymore.
Walk Leaders still required. We still need to extend our group of volunteers to organise a walk or two in 2025 and, not forgetting,we'll be planning soon for 2026! If you would like to help out it would be appreciated and first timers will be fully supported by one of us. For more details please contact our walk co-ordinator Graham Baker using the contact details on the committee page of this website.
2025 Walk Dates. As you will see the dates for our 2025 series are almost complete. The walk leaders and venues are similarly being defined and added to this website, so as soon as venues have been confirmed so please check back regularly for the latest information. Again, if you're interested in us using one of your own walks, then please talk to one of the committee and we'll always be happy to help.
