This walk is specifically designed for those aiming to significantly improve their stamina and who enjoy a longer distance. It is ideal for individuals comfortable with a walking speed of approximately 3.5 miles per hour over the entire duration, typically across more challenging terrain and with fewer stops. If you're seeking a more challenging workout to elevate your fitness level, this walk is a perfect match.

Walk time of 2.5-3 hours.

Walkers are requested to arrive at the venue 10 minutes before the start time to allow for parking, shoe change, pole adjustment etc, so that the walk can start promptly at the time indicated.

Walk Description:

Starting beside the Victoria Pub, we’ll quickly leave the road behind and head into the peaceful woodland.

The walk begins with a steady climb to get the heart and lungs working. As we gain height, the trees occasionally open up to give us lovely glimpses across the surrounding countryside. Partway through the walk, our route links with the Compton Walk.

Once the initial climb is behind us, the terrain becomes gentler and we can enjoy the woodland, fresh air and varied birdlife.

Different walking speeds can be accommodated while keeping the group together.

Allow approximately 1 hour 15 minutes, depending on the pace of the group and stops along the way.

Please wear sturdy footwear with good grip. Tree roots and some of the inclines can become slippery after rain.

A lovely woodland walk with a good climb to start, followed by gentler walking and plenty of time to enjoy the surroundings.
