A slightly longer one for the week (just under 2 hours) so I’ve set up for when the evenings will be light throughout

For anyone who joined us for the same named walk on Saturday 15 March, this is a different route

This goes through Floodplain Forest Nature Reserve, Stony Stratford Nature Reserve, and past Iron Trunk Aqueduct

Meet at the carpark at 13 Russell St, Woburn Sands, Milton Keynes MK17 8NU

This is just over a 4-mile intermediate hike going through Wavendon Wood, New Wavendon Heath and Sandle Bridleway through Aspley Wood

We will meet for drinks at the Swan in Woburn Sands at around 8 pm. Please let me know in the comments by Wednesday 7 May if you would like to join us for drinks

See photos in comments for route to carpark

Meet at the carpark:

52.0515150, -0.7250470

(Note: there is an hourly charge if you wish to also park here)

You can park nearby for free on Livingstone Drive (near David Lloyd gym) but we will meet at this carpark to start our walk

This is an extended walk around Willen South and North lakes, followed by a walk around Tongwell lake and down along the Grand Union canal

This intermediate route offers breathtaking views of the iconic Seven Sisters cliffs and the peaceful Cuckmere Haven before looping back through the forest and countryside. We will be walking along all Seven Sisters cliffs. It's a perfect opportunity to enjoy fresh sea air, connect with nature, and spend time with like-minded people ☺️

MEETING POINT
> Birling Gap - South Downs National Park Carpark (coordinates 50.742721,0.202838) at 12:00pm. Note: this is a national trust carpark so free if you’re a member otherwise this is pay and display. You can park along the side of the road just outside the carpark if you do not wish to park in the carpark.

FOOD Please bring a packed lunch and water

DISTANCE & DIFFICULTY
Distance: 9 miles. This is quite a hilly hike with amazing views along the way.

WHAT TO BRING
• Appropriate clothes & footwear - ideally walking shoes
• Water (1.5 litres)
• Lunch

Cliffs - danger
There are sheer drops off the cliffs and some of these soft chalk cliffs are crumbling at the edges with chunks regularly falling and no fencing in place.
Please keep at least 3 metres away from the edges. If you fall, or the ground at the edge of the cliff collapses, it will almost certainly be fatal.

Note: if you cannot attend, please remove your name from the participant list
Bringing dogs is NOT advised during this walk due to the fact we are walking close to the cliffs

FEE

Note: most walks are free but some of the longer hikes carry a small charge per person of £2. Please bring £2 with you on the day. This is because organisers pay a fee to keep the groups running through the app, and with various planning of activities we do incur expenses. Your contributions are much appreciated, thank you :)
