Overview

This is a 'save-the-date ' entry in the programme. It will be updated nearer the time. I'm not yet entirely sure what our route will be, and it will probably be familiar to many. of you.  But basically it will be circular, leisurely and roughly five miles and will doubtless be a highly enjoyable and sociable walking experience, weather permitting. Plus we end up back in Godshill where there is a choice of food/drink venue options if wished.

Meet at the main Old Smithy carpark at 10.30am.

By public transport there are numbers 2 and 3 buses to Godshill.

In the interests of the air, parking, and non-drivers, if anyone is able to offer, or needs, a carshare then please post on WhatsApp group (to join group please message Serena 07564-811690).

Additional Notes
Depending on the weather, consider suitable, clothing, footwear, walking poles, sun cream, drinks, and food. Walking poles can be particularly useful in winter in helping you to stay upright! Watch out for ticks and remove ASAP. If you are unsure about your ability to undertake this walk, please contact the walks leader. If you need to leave the walking group, please ensure you inform the leader or back marker.

Please note that there may be short sections of road walking, so please walk in a single file and take good care.
