Overview

9.45 AM START 

This is a very varied and interesting walk, across heathland, through a ford, farmland and along the Kennett and Avon Canal.

Could be muddy and damp underfoot in places. Poles maybe useful.

Short water stop and slightly longer snack stop.

Please bring water/snack, and wear appropriate gear.

Lunch afterwards at 1.15.PM at Honesty at The Base and then Wildlife Photographer of The Year Exhibition at 2.00PM The Base, Communications Road, Greenham Business Park, Greenham, RG19 6HN. - https://thebasegreenham.ticketsolve.com/

(10-minute drive from walk meeting point.)

Ticket: £10.20 + £1.00 Booking fee. Please book on line or buy tickets on the day.

It’s a nice walk - I hope you will join me and indeed for the other two events that day.

Please contact me with your intentions. 

See you there!
