Overview

Please note the 9.15 start time (to allow for a 10 mile morning). 
This is a circular walk via Winwick, West Haddon, Long Buckby and Watford.  We begin with a short sharp climb up Crack's Hill then there is a variety of scenery including several elevated viewpoints. 
There will be a lunchtime stop at the Long Buckby RFC clubhouse where it's okay to eat our own packed lunch if buying a drink. 
 Assistance dogs only please.
