What we’re about
A Newbury based group walking in local areas.
Upcoming walks in planning for North Hampshire, Bagnor & Snelsmore Common, Kintbury area & Coombe Gibbet area.
Key elements for me are that the start points are mostly accessible by public transport and that there is a refreshment stop for those who want it.
Suggestions for walks would be very welcome.
Other people to lead walks, or to co-lead, would be very welcome.
Try it, you might like it !
