Walking Sunday, April 14th 

Hello, everyone

Walking Sunday approaches with a promising weather forecast - at least for the morning! I thought we would walk on the Bayfield Estate starting from the car park at Glandford Barns/ Cley Spy at NR25 7JP.

We will walk up the hill and then break off to follow the field and wood margins around the estate to the edge of the lake, past Natural surroundings then cross the fields to the village. Coffee stop at the end for those who would like one.

Hopefully we could find some bluebells if the warm weather continues

Meet at the barns/Cley Spy car park at 11.30 as usual. Please let me know if you can come.

Do let me know if you can come.

See you there
Julia

 

Walking Sunday, March 10th 

Good morning, everyone

With February a short month walking Sunday seems to have come rather quickly this time. Lorraine has planned a walk over Kelling Heath starting from the Holgate Hill car park - then following the railway line for a bit, down to the main road adjacent to Weynor Gardens, then up over Muckleburgh Hill and returning via the track / footpath up to the heath. With the recent rain Lorraine thinks that some of the paths could have mud patches so do come prepared. We do have a dryish week to come, however!

The Holgate Hill car park is close to the Holt Garden Centre ( NR25 7ER ) but on the opposite side of the road. If you are approaching from the Holt direction the car park is the next left turn after the entrance to the garden centre but if you are approching from the coast it is on the right before you get to the garden centre. We will meet at 11.30 am in the car park and the garden centre is a coffee stop at the end of the walk.

Do let me know if you can come.

See you there
Julia

 

Our next walk Sunday, February 11th 

Good afternoon, everyone

After looking at the weather forecast for next Sunday ( considerably colder and wet!) I thought we should do a shorter walk so I've chosen the walk on the Stody estate starting from Hunworth and Stody Village Hall. (NR24 2EQ).

The walk should be sheltered for part of the way and coffee at the Hunworth Bell following.

Please meet in the hall car park at 11.30 and fingers crossed for better weather than forecast on the day! Let me know if you can come.

Please let me know if you can come.

See you there
Julia

 

Our next walk Sunday, January 13th 

Good afternoon, everyone

I'm afraid that I will not be able to promise bright weather on Sunday just more grey in the current forecast, but it should be a little warmer. I thought we would walk really close to home in Sheringham Park. I'm afraid we have lost our free car park we used to use at Woodlands Leisure Centre but we can use Trust membership in the main carpark at Sheringham car park and meet at the information board where the path to the visitor centre leaves the car park at 11.30am.

We will walk down to the drive via the Temple then down towards Weybourne station, up to the Weybourne Lodges and back along the top of the ridge to the car park - just over 4 miles.

Please let me know if you can come.

See you there
Julia

 

Our next walk Sunday, November 12th 

Good afternoon.

I'm afraid that our walk this month might be a bit grey with light rain forecast but only a moderate breeze. I had considered a trip to Cley and a walk around the reserve but there is little shelter so for a change of plan I thought a walk through more woodland might be better so I suggest we meet in the dog walker's car park at Sexton's Lodge on the edge of the Felbrigg estate down the LIon's Mouth (NR11 8PS). The walk is about 4 miles.

To allow our bell-ringing walkers to join us may I suggest we meet at 11.30 rather than our usual 10.30?

Please let me know if you can come.

See you there
Julia

 

Our next walk Sunday, October 8th 

Good afternoon everyone.

I am pleased to say that I now have my licence back so have wheels again! I thought we would go a little further afield this coming Sunday and walk around Aldborough and Hanworth. The walk starts in the Village of Aldborough where there is parking alongside the village green outside the shop. If you come to the village from Roughton, turn off the A140 at the sign for the village go through the hamlet of Town Green then turn right at the signpost for Aldborough. Come along the top of the green then turn right at the pub, The Criketers on the Green ( originally The Black Boys NR11 7AA) and you will find the shop along there on the left. There should be space to park alongside the green.

The walk starts along a section of the Weaver's Way past the mill then on along field paths, tracks and quiet lanes to Hanworth. We have good views of the Hall approching the common then cross part of the common to pick up another section of the Weavers Way to return to Aldborough - about 4.5 miles in total. Potential coffee-stop in the pub on our return.

Please let me know if you can come.

See you there
Julia

 

Our next walk Sunday, September 10th 

Good afternoon everyone.

It looks as if we should have a warm week followed by a warm Sunday this coming week. I thought it would be an opportunity to complete the other part of the circular walk around Sheringham. Parking at the top of Cremers Drift (the road leading to my apartment - parking on site for visitors can be limited!) we can wind our way onto Beeston Common and then along the allotments to the level crossing and on to the coast. Then return to the town via the steep ascent and descent of Beeston Bump to join the promenade along to the Espalnade thern return throught the town to Cremer's Drift - and mine for coffee! It's about 4 miles - not too long if it is a hot day!

I will meet you on the corner of The Rise - the last road on the left off Cremer's Drift at 10.30.

Please let me know if you can come.

See you there
Julia

 

Our next walk Sunday, July 9th 

Good morning everyone.

Walking Sunday approaches and the weather is looking good if the showers do not arrive earlier than forecast! I thought we would do another walk based on Itteringham walking another way towards Mannington then crossing the road to get a glimpse of Wolterton Hall before returning to the cars via the Bure water meadows. Parking at the rear of the Bure Valley Community Centre as we did the last time we started from Itteringham and coffee at the village shop for those who would like it at the end of the walk.

I'm sorry that I have some sad news I heard from Barbara this morning - Martyn and Ann will not be walking with us as they have had to go to Ireland as her son David has died in an accident on holiday. I am sure all our thoughts are with them at this most difficult of times.

Meet at 10.30 as usual in Itteringham, and please let me know if you can come.

Kind regards
Julia

 

Our next walk Sunday, June 11th 

Hello everyone.

The weather looks good for Sunday and it would be nice to see some more sun and have some warmth!

I thought we would do another walk staring from Baconsthorpe Castle ( NR25 6LN) again - this time doing a loop around Hempstead before picking up part of the Holt-Mannington Walk before returning to Baconsthorpe by Long Lane. I am afraid the potholes will still be there on the access road to the castle, so please take care.

Meet at 10.30 as usual and please let me know if you can come.

Kind regards
Julia

 

Our next walk Sunday, May 14th 

Good morning everyone.

I hope you have all recovered from the tv fest that was the Coronation and are looking foward to a bluebell walk. This time we travel to Blickling Park to see the bluebells - hope for a cool-ish week so they are not over by next Sunday.

The Woodgate Car Park by the great Wood is the most convenient to use. If you are approaching from the north go to Itteringham ( we walked here some time ago) . Go past the community centre, over the road bridge then fork left at the Walpole Arms towards Itteringham Common. Continue straight through this tiny village then you will come to the Woodgate Car Park on the right where the road does a sharp bend to the left. I haven't got a post code for your satnav - probably Itteringham Common would be best but the six-figure OS map refenrence is 162297. The car park is clearly marked on the OS map and the map of the wider estate on the Blickling Hall website. Meet at the usual time of 10.30am. We will admire the bluebells then follow the multi-use trail for about a four mile walk around the Park. I'm afraid there is not a nearby coffee opportunity.

Please let me know if you can come.
See you there
Julia

 

Our next walk Sunday, April 16th 

Good morning everyone.

Here are the details of the postponed walk for April. Meet in the National Trust Car Park at Beacon Hill, Roman Camp(NR27 9ND) at 10.30 as usual. Take care on the approach road off Sandy Lane as it can be very uneven and not being mobile at the moment I cannot go and have a look at the current state of the track. To get there follow the A148 towards Cromer and in Aylmerton take the left hand turn to West Runton - Sandy Lane. Follow the lane until it widens at the top of the hill - the Beacon Hill car park is along the track to your left - there is a map on the NT website with more detail.

We will walk down the hill towards East Runton then cut along the base of Incleborough Hill to cross the Links Hotel golf course then cross the road to join Calves Well Lane at the base of the ridge to finally climb up through Besston Regis Common to the crest of the ridge and back to the car park. There could be some mud about as this week is forecast to have rain.

Please let me know if you can come.
See you there
Julia

 

Our next walk Sunday, March 12th 

Good morning everyone.

This week is looking very cold but hopefully things improve by Sunday - marginally warmer but the possibility of drizzle! As I mentioned last time we will start in Sheringham at the boating lake end of the esplanade (NR26 8LG). If you come into Sheringham via Lodge Hill (go past the entrance to Sheringham Park and on down the hill (Holt Road) into Sheringham, then go across the coast road and over the railway bridge, take the first left into the Boulevard, go round the war memorial and then turn left onto the Esplanade. The boating lake is at the western end of the Leas Gardens - the Golf Course end rather than the town end.

The walk will take us along the coast path for a short section until we turn inland and up into the bottom of Sheringham Park then along the drive past the house into Upper Sheringham and down the hill past the high school back to the Esplanade. The paths are good throughout. Plenty of coffee shops in Sheringham at the end of the walk.

As our free car park for Sheringham Park we used to use is now closed can you tell me if you are not a member of the National Trust and then I will know if we can use NT car parks in future for our walks.

Looking forward to seeing you in Sheringham - please let me know if you can come.

Julia

PS. Fingers crossed for better weather on the day.

 

Our next walk Sunday, February 12th 

Good morning everyone.

Our next walk starts from the Bure Valley Community Centre ( Itteringham Village Hall) at NR11 7AX. The Hall is next to the church in Itteringham and for the walkers' car park turn in and drive past the hall and turn onto the grassy area behind it. The walk is just over 4 miles through the Mannington Estate and I am hoping we will find snowdrops on the way. A coffee opportunity afterwards will be at the Itteringham Village Community Shop which has limited sitting room but usually some good cakes and savory snacks!

I am unable to do a recce beforehand to look for mud but some of the estate is low lying so there could be mud in patches but the weather looks dry for the week ahead so it could be drier underfoot than usual. Meeting time is 10.30.

Please let me know if you can come.

See you there
Julia

 

Our next walk Sunday, January 8th 

Hello everyone - Happy New Year.

I thought we would do one of the Glanford walks this coming Sunday on the Bayfield Estate. This is a walk generally good underfoot on farm tracks, with a few gentle hills about 4 miles in length and with a coffee stop at the end. The parking place is at the Manor Farm Barns, Glanford just beyond Holt and the home of Cley Spy. if you are not sure how to find them the Cley Spy website has directions. Turn right towards Fakenham at the roudabout at the end of the Holt Bypass then go through Letheringsett and take the first right after you have passed the last house on the right and as you start to go up a hill. Take care on this corner as the visability is not good.

Meet at 10.30 as usual - the weather is looking fine at the moment with sunny intervals but a fresh breeze and so not very warm.
See you there and please let me know if you can come.

Julia

 

Our next walk Sunday, November 13th 

Good morning everyone

We have now arrived at our first clash as this Sunday is Remembrance Sunday and you might have other commitments.

The walk I have planned is a familiar one but with a different parking place on Kelling Heath to then walk down to Kelling and onto the coast via the Quag then back uphill via the Muckleburgh guns and Hill to join the footpath opposite the camp entrance to climb up to the Weybourne road and back to the car park on Holgate Hill - just over 4 miles. If you come from the Holt direction the car park is on the left once you have passed the Holt Garden Centre. There is a white signboard at the entrance saying Kelling Heath. If approaching from the coast via Weybourne on the Holt Road the entrance will be on your right before you reach the garden centre - it can be difficult to see from this direction but you can go on to the garden centre to turn round and approach from the other side, There is an opportunity for a coffee stop at the centre on our return. The post code for the garden centre is NR25 7ER and there is a useful map showing Holgate Hill on their website.

See you at the car park at 10.30 am. The weather looks dry but breezy so could feel cool - hats and gloves?

Please let me know if you can come. My mobile number is 07816505539 and home phone is 01263 825457- if you need any further directions, please be in touch.

Our next walk Sunday, September 11th 

Hello, everyone

September marks the change to a walk on the second Sunday in the month - and should help when the walk clashes with Christmas and Bank Holidays!

When we last walked from Cley Village Hall there were only three of us, but the weather looks fine this Sunday so I thought we would take the opportunity to visit the coast and do the walk again Starting from the Cley Village Hall (NR25 7RJ) at our usual 10.30 am we will go down into the village and join the coast path on the east side of the River Glaven to walk out to the shingle bank. Then we will follow the coast path until we cut inland to join the path that goes along the top of the old cliffline back towards Cley. Descending at Halsey Hills we will join the Attenborough Path and walk back to the village. Kathryn has kindly offered to host us for coffee as we pass her house, close to the visitor centre, on our return.

Looking forward to seeing you there - please let me know if you can come.

Julia

 

Our next walk Sunday, July 24th 

Good afternoon, everyone

The forecast looks fine for walking this Sunday - I had two days of rain in Wales which was quite welcome!

I've planned a four and a half mile walk starting from Baconsthorpe Castle (NR25 6LL), meeting at 10.30 am. The castle is currently closed for repairs but the car park is still open - please take care along the first part of the access road to avoid the potholes!

Please let me know if you can come.

See you there!

Julia

 

Our next walk Sunday, August 28th 

Good afternoon, everyone

The temperatures on Sunday should be much more comfortable for walking, I'm pleased to say.

I've planned a walk from Mannington Hall of just over 5 miles, parking in the main car park (charge £2) and walking over to Barningham Green then returning via Watery Lane and Mossymere Wood to follow The Cut back to the Hall.

The meeting time will be 10.30am as usual and please let me know if you can come. If you use a sat nav to find the Hall, the post code is NR11 7BB. If you are not sure of the way, please send me a message and I will give you directions.

See you there!

Julia

 

Our next walk Sunday, July 24th 

Good evening, everyone

The weather is looking a bit mixed at the weekend but fingers crossed it should only be showers - and with a fresh breeze!

I thought that this Sunday we would do the longer section of the Bayfield Estate walk starting from the car park by Natural Surroundings where the cafe and wild flower centre should be open at the end of the walk. We start with a steep climb up out of the valley but the route levels off where we often have some close encounters with the pigs destined for Waitrose! We will cross Wall's Lane then drop down by Bayfield Brecks to the Holt - Cley road before returning to the water meadows by the River Glaven and Natural Surroundings. The walk is about five and a half miles - and the water meadows should be dry!

Meet in the car park behind the cafe at 10.30 and take care as the top end of the drive has some potholes! Please let me know if you can come or need directions.

 

Our next walk Sunday, May 22nd 

Good Morning everyone

May is always a good time to enjoy the new green on the trees! I thought we could walk through the woods on the Stody estate this Sunday starting from Hunworth Village Hall. The weather looks fine if not very sunny and ideal for a walk of about 4.5 miles.

We usually make a contribution towards the parking at the Hall and I will collect it from you on Sunday - no coffee at the end this time, however, unless you bring a flask!

See you at the Hall at 10.30am - please let me know if you can come.
Julia

 

Our next walk Sunday, April 24th 

Good Morning everyone

I've planned a familiar shorter walk for this Sunday, walking on the Bayfield Estate - the weather forecast says sunny intervals and a fresh breeze so fingers crossed it will stay the same. We will meet up at the Glandford Barns at 10.30am - and I hope you will join me for an outdoor coffee afterwards.

Please let me know if you can come - I'm always nervous that I will set off without someone if you are delayed!

See you there.
Julia

 

Our next walk Sunday, February 27th 

Hello everyone

Walking Sunday is here again and it looks as if we will have some better weather - it couldn't be much worse than yesterday!

I've tried to plan a walk to keep us out of the mud starting from Upper Sheringham. There is no church service on Sunday so I suggest we park at 10.30am along the church wall around the reservoir. We will walk down through Sheringham Park to the coast and along to the coastguard houses, past the windmill - this track, which used to have a very large muddy puddle has now been improved - and on via the allotments to the path from Weybourne to the staion where we will turn back into the Park.

Looking forward to seeing you there - please let me know if you can come.
Julia

 

Our next walk Sunday, June 27th 

Hello everyone

It's walking Sunday again and this time we will see the sea!

I'm planning a walk of just over 4 miles starting in Overstrand, going over Hungry Hill, calling in at Northrepps then returning to the coast. The first section after we leave Overstrand is narrow and could have a few nettles so I suggest trousers rather than shorts! We will meet at 10.30am and parking is in the High Street - follow the main coast road from Cromer then branch left after the garage in Overstrand and park on the right before you reach the shop. Please let me know if you can come.

See you there.
Julia

 

Our next walk Sunday, May 30th 

Hello everyone

This is advance notice for the 30th as I am away this weekend.

As it is a Bank Holiday weekend I have chosen a walk which will keep us off the beaten track, although we will venture into the park at Felbrigg. I suggest we meet at 10.30, parking at Metton Church at NR11 8SZ if you are trusting your sat nav. The car park is just beyond the church with a turn in at the war memorial. We will walk from the church through fields and woodland into Felbrigg Park then follow the Weavers Way and field paths to reach the church again - about 5 miles in all.

Please let me know if you can come - see you there.
Julia

 

Sunday, April 25th 

Walking Sunday is coming up again and the weather is looking fine.

I'm proposing a walk inland to avoid any crowds around the coast starting from the Bure Valley Community Centre in Itteringham - originally the Itteringham Village Hall (NR11 7AX, if you trust your sat nav). The walker's car park is just beyond the hall leaving the first parking area for church users - as the church is next door. I'm proposing a 10.30 start again - is that all right, Lorraine? - and again groups of six apply. The walk is approx. 5 miles and flat with a mixture of footpaths, farm tracks and a small amount of quiet lane. We will pass Mannington Hall on the way.

Please let me know if you can come

Julia

 

Sunday, December 27th 

Good morning, everyone

As Norfolk is going into Tier 4 on Boxing Day - effectively lock-down - I feel I have to cancel the walk from the Glandford Barns on Sunday. 'Ramblers' have suspended all walks in tier 4 and so I feel I should follow their lead.

It will be our first walk as soon as the restrictions allow us to walk in groups again - or until we have been vaccinated!

Happy Christmas wishes to everyone
Julia

 

Sunday, October 25th 

Evening everybody, hope you are all well.

We have the pleasure to be leading this months walk happening next Sunday, 25th October at 11.30 at the village sign. Parking is available at Julia’s (for 1) and in the vicinity of the sign. We did a recky this weekend and it took approx. 2hr 15min. It will be wet under foot in places (no quicksand) but manageable. Hope to see you Sunday and please remember the clock change returning to GMT on Saturday night!

Martyn & Ann Waring

 

Sunday, July 26th 

Good morning, everyone.

Our walk this Sunday will be around Holt Coutry Park with a brief visit to Hempstead. Meet as usual at the village sign for 11.30am or at the Mackays Hill car park at the back of Holt Country Park at 11.45am. To find the car park, turn off the Holt bypass onto the Hempstead Road then go past the entrance to the industrial area and the turning is past Bookers on the right. The name is at the entrance. Go along the short drive and the car park is at the end.

Same arrangements will apply as last time with the group being split into two if necessary and with social distancing - please let us know if you are able to come.

We look forward to seeing you there.
Julia.

 

Sunday, February 28th 

Good afternoon, everyone.

Walking Sunday is here again! The weather looks dry but windy so we will hope the trees stay in one piece when we do the short stretch through the woods!

The walk is around the Stody estate - one we have done several times before starting from Hunworth Village Hall. There shouldn't be too much mud but come prepared just in case. Meet at the village sign to follow or car share at 11.30am or in the Hunworth Village Hall car park at 11.45. We will be collecting donations for the upkeep of the Hall.

See you there.
Julia.

 

Sunday, January 26th 

Good afternoon, everyone.


Walking Sunday is here again - let's hope for some sunshine.

The next walk will be through Sheringham Park to Weybourne Station then up through the woods on the return to the cars. A flattish walk with an uphill bit from the station to the entrance for the Weybourne Lodges.

Meet at the village sign for car share or to follow at 11.30am as usual or meet at 11.40am in the top car park at Woodlands (formerly Pinewood) Leisure Centre. Please park along the hedge.

See you there.
Julia.

 

Sunday, December 22nd 

Good afternoon, everyone.


Time for a pre- Christmas constitutional. We thought we would walk at Pretty Corner - we can stay in the trees if wet or strike out to the coast if dry. There is so much water in the fields at the moment which makes it a bit difficult to find somewhere where you don't end the walk much taller than when you started.

Meet at the village sign at 11.30am as usual for car share or to follow - or in the top car park for Pretty Corner at 11.40am.

See you there.
Julia.

 

Sunday, November 24th 

Good morning, everyone. Walking Sunday is here again.


The forecast looks dry so we thought we would walk by the coast starting from the edge of Beeston Common. Meet at the West Beckham village sign for car share or to follow at 11.30am as usual or at 11.45am in the layby off the southern side of the coast road between Sheringham and Beeston Regis where the road cuts the Common.

See you there.
Julia.

 

Sunday, October 27th 

Good afternoon, everyone.

This is an early message as we are away next week walking in the Cotswolds. The starting point for the walk will be the National Trust car park at Roman Camp - the route to be decided a little nearer the date when we have some idea of the weather forecast. Usual meet up at the village sign in West Beckham at 11.30 for car share or to follow, otherwise see you in the Roman Camp car park at 11.45.

See you there.
Julia.

 

Sunday, September 22nd 

Hello everyone.

Next Sunday's walk will be around Cley, taking a loop around the marshes to Blakeney and then returning via the Wiveton Fruit Farm - about 4.5 miles. Meet at the villlage sign at 11.30am to follow or car share or meet at Cley Village Hall car park at 11.50am. Weather forecast looks promising.

See you there.
Julia.

Sunday, August 23rd 

Good morning, everyone.

Just a reminder that this Sunday's walk is from Bodham. We are staying very close to home as it is Bank Holiday (and good weather) so the roads are bound to be crowded. Usual meeting place at 11.30 then at Bodham Village Hall at 11.35. A flat walk of about 4 miles to Baconsthorpe Castle and back.
See you there.
Julia.

 

Sunday, June 23rd 

Good afternoon, everybody.

The walk this Sunday starts in East Runton. We will walk inland into Cromer, visit the pier ( ice cream opportunity here ) then along the beach if the tide permits to arrive back in East Runton. Meet at the village sign at 11am as usual for car share or to follow or meet us in the car park at the East Runton Village Hall. If approaching from the Sheringham direction along the coast road turn right into the main residential part of the village and the village hall is on the right at the end of the green but before the viaduct. Please bring a donation of £1 per person for village hall funds.


Advance notice!

Sunday, May 26th 

Good afternoon, everybody.

This Sunday we plan to walk around the Stody estate from Hunworth. We are avoiding the coast as it is likely to be a busy weekend!
We are hoping to park at Hunworth Village Hall but awaiting confirmation that there is not an event on this Sunday. It will be 11.30 at the village sign in West Beckham as usual to car share or follow if you are unsure of the location or 11.45 in the Village Hall car park.


See you there

Julia

Sunday, April 28th 

Hello, everyone.

Next Sunday we have planned a walk from Kelling Heath Caravan Park. We will walk across the heath, down to Kelling then, passing the Quag, we will walk over Muckleburgh Hill to return via the woods at the base of the ridge to climb back up to the heath and the railway line. There are bluebells and some ancient trees on the way!


Meet at the village sign at 11.30 as usual or meet at 11.45 in the car park at Kelling Heath caravan park.


See you there

Julia

Sunday, March 24th 

Good morning, everyone.

Meet at the village sign at 11.30am as usual to follow or car share or in the English Heritage car park at the castle at 11.45.

I walked it yesterday and I am pleased to say there was very little mud!


Looking forward to seeing you

Hello, everyone.

Meet at the village sign at 11.30 to car share or follow as usual or outside the church in Upper Sheringham at 11.40.


See you there

Julia

Sunday, January 27th 

Hello, everyone.

Our first walk of 2019 in this coming Sunday when we will be walking a circuit at Felbrigg Hall starting from the dog-walkers car park at Sexton's Lodge. (Car parking is free).

Meet at the village sign in W B as usual at 11.30 to car share or follow - or meet at the Sexton's Lodge car park at 11.45. Directions to the car park are as follows: take the A148 towards Cromer, then passing Roman Camp garage on your right take the next right hand turning, Byeway to Suffield. This is rather narrow and windy but visibility is good. Turn left through the gates at the first large house on your left and the entrance to the car park is on the right before the cattle grid.


See you there

Julia

Sunday, November 25th 

Good afternoon, everyone.

I hope Sunday's weather will be a little better than today's!
We have planned a walk around the Bayfield Estate. Meet at the village sign as usual at 11.30 to car share or follow or we will meet you in the car park by Natural Surroundings - which is up the main drive to the estate, turn left just beyond the cafe/visitor centre where there is parking to the left of the drive.

See you on Sunday
Julia

Sunday, October 28th 

Good afternoon, everyone.

Do not panic - the 28th is not this weekend but the following one when BST comes to an end! We are planning to walk from West Beckham - following the route we sorted for last time when it rained! Meet at the village sign in West Beckham at 11.30am - parking is on the verge on the bus shelter side. ( This message is earlier than usual as we are walking in the Cotswolds next week.)

See you there
Julia

Sunday, August 26th 

Good afternoon, everyone.

I have just done a recce for Sunday's walk - hopefully it won't be quite so sticky out - should be sunny intervals with a top temperature of 18C.

A level woodland walk again - this time through the woods around Roman Camp. We will go round the Canadas, then out to the viewpoint before walking back on the NT trail to the car park. Meet at the village sign at 11.30 to share cars or follow if you are not certain of the way. Otherwise meet in the Roman Camp car park ( NT) at 11.45. There is parking off Sandy Lane opposite the entrance to the Roman Camp car park if you don't want to pay and then you can walk along the track to join us.

Looking forward to seeing you there
