New Members figure of 8 walk, Turvey, 8 miles, walk leader Belinda

Please note that this walk is likely to be wet & muddy due to the recent weather so make sure that you are wearing appropriate footwear.

This is a figure of 8 walk, meaning you can walk the morning loop, afternoon loop, or both, as we will return to the start point for lunch. Everyone is welcome, whether you’re an established member of the group or haven’t walked with us before.

For the morning walk we will meet in the very large layby on the A428 before you get into Turvey from Northampton. Its on Bedford Road, Turvey, Bedford MK43 8ER (Please Follow directions and not just use postcode, the google pin will take you to the exact spot).
There is room for 20 cars in the layby if it does fill up there is room for parking back in the village but it is a 5 minute walk so please arrive early.
