NEW WALK - POP UP!!! Kintbury Circular Saturday 18th September
Our last 2 Saturdays walks have been full. As Jerome's Kent walk has limited numbers we are providing a back up walk in the rarely trodden county of Berkshire.
Gavin and I are doing a circular from Kintbury up onto the North Wessex Downs and along the Kennet and Avon Canal as well as taking in one of the pubs recently featured in a Sunday Telegraph article on the best 25 pubs for walkers in the country in the afternoon to see how accurate that description is.
Distance: approximately 20.5 miles according to OS Maps (its unrecceed.).
Train departs 09.07 from Paddington (change at Newbury) if you're interested (or meet us at Kintbury station at 10.17)
