Overview

This walk from Shortheath Common passes by or near to all the ponds from the shorter walk that I have lead previously plus a further 5 ponds! The route includes part of the Hangers Way, is a mainly level walk but does have two hills to look forward to! 25 spaces available. Once all places are taken, I will add people to a reserve list. To join this walk, please send me an email to include your name to neilswalks@gmx.com
