We are the West Berkshire Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
A circular walk from Greenham Common control tower. The route will cross the eastern section of Greenham Common, taking in Crookham Common before turning south to include Kingsclere Woodlands. This provides opportunity to view the eastern ponds, renowned for migrating waterfowl.
The walk is of 12 miles duration and includes modest climbs totalling some 550ft. Paths on the Commons are generally gravel based so the conditions there should be sound. Expect muddy areas in the wooded sections, particularly where clay is the primary surface and water courses are prevalent. There is a short section of road where traffic speed is a concern. The number of stiles is unknown but will be few.
Typically rain can be expected.
Numbers are limited to 16 and participants should register via the link provided.
Please bring sufficient food / drink for the day and ensure that your walking kit is appropriate to the anticipated conditions.
Car park off Bury's Bank Road, immediately in front of the Control Tower. Parking is free, voluntary donations can be made via the machines.
