We are the Hampshire 40+ Walking Group. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Starting frown Bradford on Avon's canal path at 11:00, we go out into attractive countryside with a mixture of good views and terrain, a castle and featuring a brief pub stop towards the end.
Optional Group meal at 7:30 in the evening.
This is Day 1 of a 2 day Hants 40+ group weekend, with day 2 being near Bath. Why not make a weekend of it?
Please arrive by 10:40am and please note the last part of the journey will take you longer than expected as its through town. We will start at 11:00.
Everyone welcome. Bring water and lunch plus snacks. Dogs are welcome with well behaved owners. Please note there are dairy cows and sheep on parts of the walk and there are a couple of short road sections on minor roads so dogs will need to be on a lead for some stretches. We aim to stop at a pub with outdoor seating 1 mile from the finish for a quick drink (and loos).
There is another Hants 40+ walk nearby on the following day. Can we tempt you to do both?
There will be a group meal at 7:30 on the Saturday evening a few miles to the south. Please text David Brettell on 07825 512957 if you would like to book the meal.
