A group of people walking down a dirt road

We leave the Village Hall car park on foot or by car at 10 am sharp to do a circuit of approximately 2 hours. You are advised, therefore, to get to the village hall by 9.55 am latest.

Dogs are welcome provided they are put on the lead when requested.  Walking boots and poles are recommended but not compulsory. Some routes include stiles. If you would prefer a shorter walk, please contact Sue to discuss as it is sometimes possible to leave a car about halfway, so the less energetic may drop off and drive home. At the village hall, please park either on the road or on the grass field beyond the tarmac. 

Please don’t hesitate to ring Sue on 01295 780 365 or email sebannister@gmail.com if you have any queries.

Due to space at the Rectory, places are limited.

Each of the evening discussions are self-contained, but it is hoped that members of the group will be able to attend all of the evenings.

If you would like to attend and be part of the discussion group, then please do be in touch with Revd Neil, revneil@wykehambenefice.org.uk or Tel: 788 005
