2025 Series Walks
SUNDAYS:
Our last walk from The Shuckburgh Arms, Southwick, with a good break in the rainy weather, was well attended, so thanks to Brenda for organising that.
The next Sunday walk, 22nd June, and is the COACH TRIP to Felixstowe, so look at the Special Events page for details. The booking list is open and filling up, so make sure you get on the list at the next event - There'll be some really interesting sites on route, to maybe entice you to investigate off-route and obviously, at the end, a wander around Felixtowe; a lovely old seaside town.
After that will be 6th July from The Robin Hood, Clifton Reynes, MK46 5DR, where, as usual, two routes will be available: 10km and 20km. Also, for those interested, the pub has a lovely garden, and food can be enjoyed either inside or in the garden, so let's hope the good weather continues.
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 The Three Horseshoes, Ecton and what a stunner that was, with paths most of us had never trod on before - thankyou Anita and Gary.
The next on 25th June 2025 is from The Dukes, Woodford NN14 4HE. Starting at 5.30 - 6.00pm. Another award winning Camra pub with an amazing garden and great food!
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.
