Overview

A short, evening, circular walk starting at Middlewick Ranges.  We circle round via East Donyland woods.  It's a lovely walk through different terrains, there should be some bluebells left.

Bring head torches as we will be walking towards dusk.  Also it can get a little muddy so appropriate footwear is needed.

This is a WalkMyWay walk.  Short, introductory walks encouraging people to relax and join in in their own area.  After a day's work, group walking is a great way to de-stress and meet new people.

My walks will be in the Colchester area, usually Wednesday evenings around 7.  So keep an eye out.  We are hoping to create different walking hubs around the county as momentum builds.

WalkMyWay walks are also a good introduction to walk leading.  If you have a walk you know and love that you would like to lead, anywhere in Essex, contact walks@hikeessex.org.uk.  We can support you all the way.
