On Wednesday 22 July, we have our now traditional annual railway walk from Thuxton. This will commence with a morning train from Dereham, on the Mid-Norfolk Railway, walking back to return to the station at lunch time.
The full walk is between 8 and 9 miles, but there is opportunity to catch the bus at Yaxham after about 5 miles (though buses run only hourly). Full details will be available from early July.
For more details see our Current Events page.
Join us for a leisurely short walk of usually no more than 4 miles. There’s no need to book, just turn up.
The next walk is on 3 July starting at 10:15
from Neatherd Moor play area
If arriving by car, please allow time to park further down the track.
We often end with the option of refreshments (tea/coffee or lunch) at a café in town.

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 14 July.

An evening walk above and across Rushmeadow. It turned out to be a pleasant evening for this gentle 3 ¼ mile walk starting at 18:00 outside Church House (bottom of Church Street).
Returning to our starting point it was just a few yards further to The Romany Rye to finish the evening with a meal.
