Change of date to be advised
We will meet at Hockwold cum Wilton and head out to find the Little Ouse Trig point at 1.6ft below sea level (you won’t need your swim trunks). This won’t be the lowest point of the walk as this will be at -8ft! The walk will cover the minimal Fen landscape of few trees & hedges and presents wide open skies and a flat horizon. The return route takes us along the Little Ouse river with its gentle meanders and the RSPB Lakenheath reserve for any birding enthusiasts.
We will take lunch at the Trig point by the river which will be at the 10 mile point
General Notes
