We are the Northants 20s-40s Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Starting from Woodlands Football Pitches carpark in Bedford, we will walk across the field past twin woods. This is the site of the airfield where the famous 40s band leader Glen Miller took his last flight before crashing into the English Channel. Then further round the walk we will have views overlooking the Great Ouse river valley. From here will will head to the Browns Wood Nature reserve before looping round the back of Clapham. We will come into the eastern end of the village and stop for a drink at The Horse & Groom pub. After this we will head back to the start via Clapham Green. The lunch stop will be at a suitable spot before we get to Clapham.
Please meet at Woodlands Football Pitches Car Park, Ashmead Rd, Bedford MK41 7GA, ready to start walking at 10.30 am. There is parking for 60 cars in the car park . If there is a match on, there is plenty of parking on the approach road to the car park.
