Overview

A delightful leisurely 6mile Winter walk from the Thatcham Discovery Centre to Greenham Common with possible stop at the Control Tower cafe, if open or at the Discovery Centre. There will be a stroll (2+miles) taking place at the same time led by Thelma/Monica. The walk is mainly flat but sturdy shoes/boots recommended especially if the weather has been wet beforehand.
