Welcome to 2022!

This very easy 5 mile walk will take us out of Pangbourne through the woodlands at the back of Pangbourne. We walk through the small village of Tidmarsh and follow the River Pang into Pangbourne.

Hopefully this will help to get rid of that hangover?

Walk details

This walk will start with us heading out from the station and walking along the side of the river Thames. Before we pop through Sot’s Hole and into the woods, walking through Berry Copse and Barnard’s Copse.

We will walk past Bowden Green and on towards Tidmarsh. After passing through Tidmarsh we will follow the River Pang back into Pangbourne and finish our walk back at the train station.

This walk is likely to be muddy so please wear sensible footwear! There is no lunch stop on this walk but please bring a snack and some sort of refreshment (guess not alcohol – new years resolution to give up drinking?)

Hopefully this will have helped to clear your heads after partying until the small hours for new year!

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.
