Walk Description:

 

Join us for a beautiful woodland walk at Houghton, exploring the labyrinth of paths that wind their way through the woods. With so many different tracks to choose from, there is always a slightly different route to enjoy.

This is a lovely walk for getting out into the fresh air, keeping active and enjoying good company. The woodland surroundings make it a peaceful place to walk, while the variety of paths keeps things interesting.

We’ll walk together as a group, with plenty of time to chat and enjoy the countryside along the way. As always with WALX Coast and Country, no one gets left behind.

The paths can be muddy and uneven at this time of year, so please wear sturdy walking shoes or boots with good grip.

Come prepared for a little mud, plenty of fresh air and a friendly, sociable walk in beautiful Sussex countryside.

 

Walking Levels Explained

Easy – Up to 2.5 to 3 mph

Ideal for casual walkers who enjoy conversation along the way. These walks are mostly flat, and any hills will be tackled slowly and gently.

Moderate – 3 to 3.5 mph

A steady pace that may lead to slightly heavier breathing, particularly on inclines. Suitable for those looking for a bit more of a workout.

Challenging – 3.5 to 4 mph

Suited for experienced walkers who enjoy pushing their pace. These walks may include longer durations (2+ hours), steeper inclines/declines, or uneven terrain. Though challenging, there will be moments to catch your breath, usually on flat or downhill sections.

Note: We never leave anyone behind. The walk leader makes sure everyone is looked after.
