Overview

Unwind from the daily stresses of the office/family etc with a short, circular walk around the City Centre.

As the evenings get longer enjoy a gentle 3.5 mile walk.  We will head out east towards the hythe and come back via Old Heath Recreation Ground.

There's an optional drink at the end in the Queen Street Brew House.
