Description of Group: A walking group for those who want to walk a little further (Sorry, no dogs) - our Regular walk is on the last Friday of the month, and is about 5 to 6 miles. We walk at a steady pace with a refreshment stop half way. There may be stiles and some muddy patches to negotiate! We end our walk with a visit to a pub or cafe for lunch (optional).

We also walk on the second Friday of the month and these are our Longer walks, usually 7-8 miles but could be a little further according to what we are doing. These are often a long distance walk in Essex or Suffolk, split into manageable stages and involves car shuttles & a picnic lunch. So far the group has walked The Essex Way, The Saffron Trail and The Wool Towns Walk.

Most months there is also a shorter walk (about 4 miles). During autumn/winter this could be a Breakfast walk, with an early start at 7.30am followed by breakfast in a cafe. During spring/summer it will be an Evening walk with a meal before or after (depending on sunset times). Other months this could be an Afternoon tea walk. There is no fixed date for this - it is dependent on leader availability and opening days of cafes.

Please note - we're not as serious as the illustration indicates - there are no rocky, uphill paths in Essex!
