Walk Description:

Make your week with a 1.5-hour walk through the stunning Houghton Forest, where we’ll take you on a journey through beautiful woodland trails and scenic bridle paths. This walk is the perfect blend of nature, fresh air, and gentle exercise, providing a fantastic way to boost your fitness while enjoying the outdoors.

What Makes This Walk Special?

Varied Routes Each Week: With so many amazing areas to explore, the walk changes weekly, so you'll always have something new to look forward to. Some weeks, we’ll venture towards the iconic South Downs Way, exploring Bury or Bignor Hill for even more stunning views. Beautiful Terrain: The walk features a mix of woodland trails, bridle paths, hills, and some chalk paths. While it can get muddy on wet days, the views are always worth it! Perfect for Fitness & Nature Lovers: This walk is an excellent way to improve your fitness while enjoying the beauty of the countryside. Whether you’re a seasoned walker or just starting out, this walk offers a manageable challenge with breathtaking rewards.

PACE Explained:

 

PACE 1  Approximately 3 to 3.5 miles per hour. A comfortable pace for anyone who wants to walk and talk. There is time to stop and take photos etc.  

 

PACE 2 Approximately 3.5 to 4.5 miles per hour. This is a steady pace which might make your breathing a little heavier, especially on the hills. 

 

PACE 3 Approximately 4.5 to 5 miles per hour. This is for the more experienced walker who knows they can push the pace. There will be times where they will be breathless but there is also recovery (usually on the flat or downhill).  

 

Please be assured that we have a NO DROP POLICY (no none gets left behind) and the walk leaders will always ensure we use different methods to cater for different needs within the group.
