Overview

Join CYW for a relaxed Friday stroll through Penn woods, followed by food to soak up the evening atmosphere and unwind after the week. This short, sociable walk is all about de-stressing, chatting, and enjoying the long summer evening. We aim to be back in time for food.

🍴 If you'd optionally like food after the walk, please aim to arrive at the Hit or Miss for 18:30 to pre-order and pay for your meal. Please answer the question when RSVP on meetup or contact the leader if you'd like to join for food to give the pub an idea of numbers.

We start walking at 18:45 on passing through Penn Woods, winding our way through ancient woodland paths beneath towering beech trees and majestic avenues passing Holy Trinity Church, and back out to the village as golden hour lights our return. We finish the evening back at the pub - the Hit or Miss, for food and drinks.

Can't make it in time for the walk and would like to join us for food and drink, then pop along from 20:15 to order your food and anytime for a drink. Let us know in the comments.

🌳Useless fun fact: The US state Pennsylvania was named after William Penn, who lived in Penn and the Latin "sylvania" meaning forest-land or woods!

🐾 Dogs on leads welcome, and allowed in the pub’s bar (hard floor areas) and garden 🐾
