Our walks are usually between 6 to 8 miles long and take the morning to achieve. We try to walk within 30 minutes drive of Shipston and members are encouraged to car share. Details of each walk are sent out beforehand to the group and members are asked to sign up in advance. We welcome new members and also encourage members to plan and lead the walks.
New members will need appropriate footwear and clothing. We usually take snacks and a drink and try to finish in a handy pub or coffee shop for refreshments.
If you think you would like to join us, we’d love to see you!, We'll send you a short Health & Safety form to complete before the walk.
Jane Hale led us a walk starting at Winchcombe on the 2nd Oct 25
Winchcombe is in the basin of several hills, at 93 m above sea level and we walk up to 190m at the highest point.
Starting across parkland, farmland tracks then onto tarmac private roads of the Farmcote Estate, all the time walking upwards, a short stretch of public roads and a private drive way we begin our descent downwards, rough footpaths, farmland and finally parklands again past SudeleyCastle.
Jane also provided some excellent cakes halfway through the walk.
