Tue 18 June 10.00am
Little Hadham - Start & Finish - Dave and Anne's house - 9 Lloyd Taylor Close, SG11 2NB. A walk around parts of Little Hadham, roads, fields, woodland, a few slopes as well. A 5 mile walk followed by lunch in the garden from about 12.30pm. We live in a cul-de-sac and so parking is tricky. The first 4 cars can squeeze up outside our house. Other cars will need to park around the corner. As always, just bring healthy appetites !!! Two other highlights - NO Quiz, but plenty of cushions for all the hard chairs. Good weather not guaranteed, we'll have to hope for the best, but we do have two large umbrellas.

The walking group has developed some self-guided walks. Several of you have already walked many of the walks and given positive feedback. Over the lockdown period we now have over 50 self-guided walks and more are in the pipeline. I have put them under a tab on the RHS Self-guided walks. I welcome your input and suggestions for more walks. Each walk must start and finish at a non-busy place. Ideally it should be within 20 miles distance from our base at Thorley. It can be any length from a couple of miles to as long as you want. Each walk should have a map, and a sheet of instructions. The idea being you can print the map and instructions on two A4 sheets (or back to back printing) and put them into a clear sleeve. As people send me feedback on the walks I can keep the instructions up to date. If you cannot generate a map, please let me know and I will do it for you.
On the RHS I have added a page of links to other walking groups that publish walks in our area, and some all over the country. If you come across a website that you found for walking please let me know and I will add it to the collection.
New walkers are always welcome to come and join our group. There is no charge for the walks.
Happy walking. Richard
