Come and join this friendly group to amble for a couple of miles or so in the countryside. Some ambles can be accessed by public transport, but others may only be reached by car. Lifts for those without transport may be possible. Group members take turns to organise the ambles and details are communicated to members via the Group Leaders. We generally walk for between an hour and an hour and a half and usually end at a café or pub for refreshments, or members may bring a picnic lunch.
Recently we have enjoyed an old favourite and a couple of new ventures.
7 of us met for the walk in April around Shorne Country Park. Luckily it was dry, unlike last month's soggy offering, although chilly. We covered 2.5 miles in about 6500 steps this time. The walk was lovely with some good views and lots of bluebells along the way.. The cafe had some lovely cakes and rolls to finish off the morning.
9 of us met in May and had a really nice walk around Wilmington. This was a new walk to most of us and we thoroughly enjoyed it. According to an app it was nearly 3 miles and thankfully the morning was sunny and dry. We finished up with lunch at the new cafe at Hayden Football field, which is now recommended!
We had a much fresher day in June for our latest walk attended by 6 of us. From Hall Place we went to Bexley Village then through woodland back to Hall Place, covering about 2.5 miles. It was a lovely walk, on paths some of us had not used before We ended at the cafe in the park for lunch.
