We are the Rutland Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

We head south towards Greetham Valley Golf Club heading towards Exton Park. Once in the park we head towards Fort Henry where we will have our coffee break. Then, those wishing to do the shorter walk, will head towards
Tunneley Wood before heading North on the Viking Way back to Greetham (a map will be provided showing the route back). Those continuing on the longer route will head towards the Trout Hatchery at Horn Mill. We then join the road, turn right and head for a short while to the path on the right following the track all the way to Exton where we will have lunch. We then head back joining the Viking Way back to Greetham.
The walking is on generally good surfaces and should be good under foot given the dry weather forecast for next week. A few stiles and a couple of inclines.
This walk offers a short walk of 5.5 miles or an 8-mile walk starting from the same starting point. Those that choose to do the shorter walk will have to navigate their way back to the car park, but a map will be provided and it is very easy to find your way back.
Dogs are accepted on this walk, although they must be on leads at all times.
Please consider car sharing arrangements with other members to reduce the pressure on parking spots at the start of the walk.
In the event of severe weather, please contact the leader on the morning to check the walk is still on.
Park in Greetham Community Centre Car Park - permission has been given to park here. Meet at top of Great Lane
