Overview

Meet in the rear car park, by the camping field.

This is a circular walk and just under six miles from the Canal Centre to Curzon Bridge, then returning along a section of the Basingstoke Canal towpath to Frimley Green, there will be a scheduled stop about half way at one of the canal locks. 

Risks: Exposed tree roots, it may be muddy in places after rain, but the route is mostly over sand and gravel paths.
Take care when crossing the B3012 as some cars exceed the speed limit along here.
