Overview

Need a walk to burn off those Christmas goodies? 

Come and join me for a leisurely walk from Bishop's Waltham. Bring a torch as it may fall dark before we re-enter the village.

Everyone is welcome including well behaved dog owners.

Bring snack for one stop.

Drinks after will be at The Crown in the village.
