Join us for a cheerful 7.5-mile Good Friday group walk, starting from Winnersh Triangle Station and winding our way through the charming village of Sindlesham and the scenic surroundings of Bearwood Lakes.

We’ll enjoy a mix of quiet lanes, countryside paths, and woodland trails as we stretch our legs and soak up the springtime vibes.

At lunch, we’ll pause for the highlight of the day — a well-deserved hot cross bun break (if you bring some along), the perfect fuel for the home stretch.

This is a relaxed and friendly walk, great for anyone looking to get outside, enjoy good company, and nibble on something sweet. Friends, family, and bunny ears all welcome!

Let’s hop into the long weekend with buns, banter, and beautiful views.

Travel information:

By public transport: Please travel on the 10.39am train from Reading which arrives at Winnersh Triangle for 10.46am. If it is delayed the start of the walk will be as well.

By car: Pay-by-app parking is available at the station.

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.
