Overview

FULLY BOOKED - due to the popularity of this walk, we are unable to take any more bookings on this walk.  Please look at our calendar for other lovely walk on offer!

This is the first of five circular walks, where we will be walking along the valley from the source of the River Ver to its confluence with the River Colne.  The first part is from Markyate to Flamstead and we will look at the source of the river and it's early stages.  This undulating walk will be muddy in places, so please bring poles if needed.  Please also bring along a packed lunch and drinks for the day but there is an opportunity to visit a local pub early afternoon.

Meet at Markyate Village Hall Car Park, Cavendish Rd, Markyate, St Albans AL3 8PT where there is free parking.

Participants on this walk need to have suitable footwear and equipment and be able to walk the distance and terrain so please consider this before booking. If you are unsure then please contact the walk leader before booking to ascertain whether this walk is suitable for you.

The leader has set a limit of 18 walkers and requires you to book.
