Thame & District

Walks - Short (Happy Wanderers)

The Short Walks (about 3 miles) take place on the third Tuesday of each month from April to October. The dates and details of walks are shown below. There is no commitment to come on every walk, just join in when you fancy it.

Meet at the start of each walk.

The short walks will:

  • only walk from April to October
  • walk NO MORE than 3 miles
  • car share for most walks or occasionally use the 280 bus or walk directly from the Scout HQ
  • try to arrange walks requiring no more than a 30 minute drive
  • NOT avoid hills, but will try to avoid long steep sections
  • NOT avoid stiles but try to avoid too many
  • NOT plan walks to always end at a pub/café, though this may happen from time to time
  • walk at a gentle pace
  • cancel if weather is too bad

Even during April to October some of the walks are likely to be muddy, so it is important that you come with boots or strong, suitable shoes. Everyday light shoes will not be suitable and would be ruined very quickly. It is also important to wear, or bring, a waterproof coat of anorak.

Details of each walk will be sent out about 2 weeks before the due date. The dates for 2024 are:
