This week’s walk Thursday 24th September - Hula-HOOP Hoof 15 miles. Start 09.30 from the Pirton Sports & Social Club, Walnut Tree Road, Pirton, Hitchin SG5 3PX (GR TL150315) ///tarnished.feast.flaking.The car park is free and there are toilets in the Club Cafe which opens at 8am. Please bring a packed lunch and plenty of water. Join us for a circuit around Hitchin as we take on the HOOP (Hitchin Outer Orbital Path). We’ll use the historic Hambridge Way to access the HOOP which we tackle in a clockwise direction. Our route takes us through Ickleford and past Cadwell Lavender Farm before we head up to Wilbury Hill for a morning break. From there we will head south on the fields between Hitchin and Letchworth where we will briefly leave the HOOP onto permissive paths for our lunch at the picnic tables in Wymondley Woods. We’ll rejoin the HOOP to pass Nine Springs and head through Charlton before dropping into the heart of Hitchin Town Centre for an afternoon break at the historic cobbled Market Place. Free toilets here. We'll hit the home stretch through Oughtonhead Common Nature Reserve before heading back into Pirton. This is a joint walk with Essex & Herts LDWA. No dogs please. Leader: Ritchie Lawrence T: 07933 568633 (before 9pm). E: ritchie.lawrence@gmail.com

What do you call a dog that can tell time? A watch dog! Why did they stop doing tests at the zoo? Because it was full of cheetahs! Why is it so windy inside an arena? All those fans! What did the hat say to the scarf? You hang around, and I’ll go on ahead. Why did the worker get fired from the orange juice factory? Lack of concentration. Why did the scientist remove his doorbell? He wanted to win the no-bell prize.
