For all walks, please make sure you have decent footwear (especially when it’s been wet) and suitable clothing: all walks will go ahead unless the weather is really bad (we’ve cancelled just one walk in the last 6 years) but do check if you’re in any doubt or want more information. If conditions necessitate the route of walks may need to change at short notice.
We have a slightly different walk on Wednesday 16 October. This walk will start at the earlier time of 9:50 at the Konect bus stop outside NatWest Bank. We will be catching the 10:00 Konect service 21 to North Elmham - please bring your bus pass or fare.
There is no need to book for this walk, but please check the timetable the day before to be sure it hasn’t changed.
The walk is about 6½ miles, returning along a quiet road running from Worthing most of the way towards Hoe, then descending to pass through Hoe Rough. I estimate we will arrive at Fakenham Road (Beetley) about around 12:30. The walk will continue to Dereham using the Jubilee Trail into the town.
For those who wish to end at Gressenhall, there should be bus service 21 just before 12:45, returning to Dereham. There is then the option of having lunch at Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse Museum (you can use the café without needing to pay for admission to the Workhouse Museum), then catch the next 21 around 13:45. I will point out the bus stops when we get there for those who want to use them.
Join us for a leisurely short walk of no more than 4 miles. There’s no need to book, just turn up.
Next short walk starts 10:15, Friday 4 October
from Neatherd Play Area.
(on this occasion very slightly over 4 miles)
See a report from our April and June short walks.
For more details see our Current Events page.
Join us on the second Tuesday of the month for a walk no more than two miles and on good and even surfaces: we will make it clear in the email if this is not the case. The pace will be steady with regular pauses to catch our breath.
Afterwards there will be an opportunity to have some refreshments at a nearby hotel/cafe (bring your purse).
The next walk will be on Tuesday 8 October.
Meet at 10:00 outside Dads-and-Lads
(near the entrance of Cherry Tree car park)
