Overview

Revisiting Charles' figure of eight walk from Woburn - one loop through the deer park and behind the safari park, and the other over heathland and through woods past Woburn golf course.  Mostly walking on paths through parkland, fields and woodland.  Hoping the sandy soil will make the mud slightly less sticky! 

We will stop for lunch in Woburn half way through so will start slightly later than usual at 9:45am.
