Walk

Booking Required Circular easy evening medium pace public transport Walk

A series of evening walks covering each area of Berkshire each week of August. Tonight, for our final walk of the series, we visit the south and Wokingham!

Booking is required for this walk, via the form here.

Pace: medium.

Walk details

A slightly shorter version of the walk I did in February, we will head towards Chapel Green before following a path close to the railway line that goes through a lovely forest of Gorrick plantation. We will then pass through some farmland before arriving back into Wokingham. Please be aware that we will be going at a slightly quicker pace to avoid as much walking in the dark as possible. It would be handy to bring a headtorch should you have one.

Travel details

By public transport

If coming from Reading, please get the 18:42, getting into Wokingham at 18:55. If this train is delayed, then the start of the walk will also be delayed.

Notes

If you or someone else from your household has COVID-19 symptoms, please do not attend.
Please bring a drink and a snack.
Please feel free to contact the leader with queries about the walk, or if you are delayed on the day.

Booking onto a walk

Most walks do not require advance booking, and you can just turn up on the day. We encourage those comfortable with Meetup to indicate there that you plan to come though, so that others can see there will be plenty of people there – this really helps to encourage new members to come along.
For the few which still have limited numbers, this is handled via Meetup. Follow the link to a walk’s Meetup page (or press 🎟 Register / 🎟 Tickets / 🎟), and mark yourself as attending.
Social and other events may have their own booking system – please see the event description.

Pace Guide

Gentle: led at a gentle pace with regular short breaks for water or rest. Should be suitable for anyone capable of the distance. (Expect 2–2.5 mph.)
Medium: led at an intermediate pace with fewer breaks but still suitable for most walkers. (Expect 2.5–3 mph.)
Fast: led at a quick pace with minimal breaks. May be a challenge for those with less fitness. (Expect 3 mph+.)

Speeds quoted are only a rough guide, including time spent on short water/rest stops and negotiating stiles/gates/roads etc. but not that spent on longer lunch or pub stops.
