The Walking Group sets out on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month, departing at 10am.
The first walk of the month is for 3 miles, usually at a leisurely pace taking about an hour and a half.
The second walk is for 5 miles and is intended to be at a faster pace perhaps taking 2hrs.
Members can choose to take part at any stage selecting the walk they are best suited to.
I send out an email advertising the next walk about a week beforehand.
You can then respond by email or texting, if you wish to join in.
To give you some idea of the walks we have included, in June 2023 we walked through the Childwickbury Estate, especially to see the rhododendrons in flower, then on the 21st June we did a 5mile walk through three different woods including Symondshyde.
July we went from the Cross Keys pub in Gustard Wood and through the Lamer Estate. In contrast the second walk of the month was around How Wood and Bricket Wood.
August we took in the lakes at Park Street finishing at Moor Mill and the 5 mile walk was a complete circular walk around the outskirts of Wheathampstead with some great views and the well hidden, Crinkle Crankie Wall.
We have a break in December because many of us are busy and preparing for Christmas!
We start again in the New Year.
Look forward to seeing you all.
