About the event

What to expect:

  • Easy parking.

  • Mostly level terrain (not wheelchair accessible).

  • A 20-minute optional detour to explore the historic lime kiln in Hawkridge Woods and enjoy the stunning viewpoint (this is the steepest part of the route).

  • Reservoir footpaths, open fields, and a section through beautiful private woodland, including Warriors' Rest commemorative area.

  • Gorgeous views, a mix of shaded and open paths, and a short stretch on a quiet road to return to cars.

  • Back-casting: please give space to anglers by the lake.

  • Blue-green algae present: please keep dogs (and people!) out of the water.


Cake & Connection Break:

We’ll take a relaxed 15-minute break partway through. Feel free to bring cake or snacks to share (and a blanket to sit on!). Everyone is responsible for their own dietary needs and allergy awareness. Vegan chocolate cake will be available!


Optional Extras:

  • Bring your pronoun badge if you like – it can help with introductions.

  • Insect repellent or mosquito spray (at your discretion).

  • Sunscreen, water, and a hat – or waterproofs, depending on forecast.
