Overview

This walk will start at the beautiful location of Carisbrooke Priory car park and it will be 4.6 miles with a diversion for a stop at Gatcombe Church where you can eat an apple, or indeed anything else that you can think of (!). The Priory should be open on our return to the car park. 

Your walk leaders are Vanessa C 07419 825246 and Maria G 07926 353108 who will be happy to answer any questions that you have.

Additional Notes
Depending on the weather, consider suitable, clothing, footwear, walking poles, sun cream, drinks, and food. Walking poles can be particularly useful in winter in helping you to stay upright! Watch out for ticks and remove ASAP. If you are unsure about your ability to undertake this walk, please contact the walks leader. If you need to leave the walking group, please ensure you inform the leader or back marker.

Please note that there may be short sections of road walking, so please walk in a single file and take good care.

Wise to look at the website on the day just in case of any changes or additional info. And in the event of extreme weather please check back for cancellation notices.   

Emergencies
It's very rare that an emergency occurs, but we may need info about

  • • Any health concerns that you have
  • • Any emergency contact information

We'd ask you to make sure that we have ready access to this, if needed.

Some people may wish to carry an ICE (in case of emergency) card. We have Ramblers cards for this purpose. Do discuss this subject with your walk leader if it is of interest.
