Walk

easy evening public transport

Meet at Twyford station for a 7pm start, after the arrival of the 18:52 departure from Reading, which arrives at Twyford at 18:58. If the train is delayed then the start of the walk will also be delayed.

This short stroll will take in the eastern part of the Loddon Nature reserve before passing the northern edges of the village of Whistley Green. We will then head through a mix of woodland
and open fields up to Stanlake Park, with the opportunity to catch a glimpse of some wild ponies on the approach to the park. The final part of the walk will take us through the village of Ruscombe before heading back into Twyford.

Possible pub stop at the end at the Duke of Wellington in Twyford and please bring some water to drink along the way.

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.
