Woburn - Steppingley 15 Mile Circular Walk

As long-time members are aware, beginning in May and continuing throughout the summer months, we undertake one long walk of 15 miles or more each month.

This is an excellent walk to commence this year's monthly long walks. It will take us first through the Woburn deer park, then through the larger estate with its woodland, farmland, and countryside, to the picturesque villages of Steppingley and Ridgemont before returning to Woburn.

What to Expect
An 15 mile walk mainly on good tracks and small lanes, some tracks maybe overgrown in places. There will be rolling hills and with a couple of steeper ones to tackle, and a total ascent of 900ft. We will maintain a pace of just over 3mph throughout the walk.

This a very enjoyable walk but it is quite long so is suitable for experienced walkers with a good standard of walking fitness.

If you are a first timer please read the 'About us...' section on the homepage before signing up for this walk, ensuring appropriate fitness and suitability.

If you can't make the walk please change your RSVP in plenty of time.
