A short afternoon walk through the countryside south-west of Hitchin, passing through Priory Park and Charlton, along bridleways and byways and back to town. The route includes one or two moderately-sloped hills but the walk will be at a leisurely pace.
The walk follows on from Hitchin Health & Wellbeing Day, which is happening in Market Place from 9.30am to 2pm. Stag Walkers and North Herts Ramblers are sharing a stall at this event and will be on hand to answer any questions about walking with the group or about Ramblers in general.
Booking is not essential for this walk but we do find it helpful to know who’s coming, so:
* if you plan to come along please book a place for yourself and any guests you are bringing
* if you have to cancel please update your RSVP so we know not to wait for you
* you can RSVP via our Meetup group or email stagwalkers at gmail dot com
