Overview

A walk from the centre of Wellingborough out to Irchester Country Park. 
Following urban footpaths & parks down to the river embankment. We then cross over the River Nene. 
Upon entering the park we will follow the circular gravel footpath around the circumference. On our return we will stop at the cafe & toilets for a break & then retrace our steps back over the bridge, then follow the avenue of trees (a few now missing) back to the town & club.

Mostly easy going on hard standing surface with no styles.
