Overview

We'll walk round the outside of Brampton Gate and cross the flyover to the track west of the A1.  We pass several lakes created by the extraction of sand and gravel for the new A14 and may see water birds.

On reaching Grafham Road we cross the A1/A14 interchange and leave the road to make our way to Brampton Park.  We walk through that and then through the arboretum, which may be an ambitious name for the number of trees but is quite pleasant.  From there it's back to the start.

If the weather is bad or the evening particularly dark we can take a short cut.

Some may want to make their way to the Black Bull afterwards.

We start our mid-week walks at 19.00 unless stated.  Please arrive 15 minutes beforehand if you can. The duration of a walk includes time for drinks break.  Walk leaders will explain stops for drinks at the start of a walk. 

Do consider the length of a walk, the weather and likely ground conditions to ensure you are fit enough and have appropriate footwear and clothing. If in doubt, contact the walk leader for advice. 

Leaders make every effort to ensure your safety, but we expect members and guests to take care to minimise the risk of accidents. 

All “Registered Assistance Dogs” are welcome on the walks with their owner.  Please contact the walk leader. 

Park considerately wherever a walk starts from.  We sometimes have large numbers attending walks, so it is important not to cause congestion for residents.  Please car share as much as possible – Use the WhatsApp group to arrange sharing.  Only use public house or private car parks where the leader has arranged for this or where you intend to patronise an establishment after the walk.
