Meet at the front of the Lamb Inn, Eastcombe, Stroud GL6 7DN at 10:15 for a 10:30 start.
Note: This is later than our normal starting time as it’s Christmas
Walk is 7 miles with 900 feet of ascent
A chance to walk off that second helping of Christmas pudding, this walk follows a circular route via the Stroud Cemetery out to Bowbridge for our coffee stop. This will be near a pub where you can either have a coffee or a drink. We will then walk along the canal where there will be a second stop at another pub where you can eat your packed lunch, if you have brought one, or a have another coffee or drink.
We will then return to the Lamb Inn for Christmas lunch.
As pubs are very busy between Christmas and New Year we will need to book a table at the pub so please confirm you are coming and whether you want to eat in Meetup or by email to johnpatient@hotmail.com by Friday December 26th 5pm.
Parking is available around the village green in front of the pub.
