Great Denham 13 mile Circular Walk
Details
A circular walk from Great Denham along the river Ouse to Bromham Mill then over fields to Stagsden, returning along the ridge to the south of Stagsden and Kempston Mill.
What to Expect
A 13 mile walk predominantly on footpaths and bridleways (mostly around field boundaries) with a few short sections on quiet roads, we will be crossing a few fields which in May shouldn't be muddy but maybe if its been wet! also and more likely, some of the paths maybe overgrown. There are some hills with a few short climbs, with the total walk ascent of around 440 ft. We will maintain a walking pace of just over 3mph throughout the walk, i.e. walking each mile in under 20 minutes.
This is an enjoyable walk with not too many ascents and is suitable for anyone with a reasonable standard of walking fitness.
If you are a first timer please read the What we’re about section on the event homepage before signing up for this walk, to ensure appropriate fitness and suitability.
If you can't make the walk please change your RSVP in plenty of time.
