Walk

Circular easy evening medium pace public transport Walk

The 5-mile circular walk from Wokingham station takes in woodland, farms and finishes at the pub!

Advance booking is not required, but if you plan on attending this walk, please indicate this on Meetup if you can, so others can see that there will be plenty of people going.

Pace: medium.

Walk details

We will head through the town centre before crossing the bridge in Gypsy Lane and entering in to woodland. We will go past Ludgrove School which Prince William and Harry attended.

We will then go through Gray’s farm which is a Pick Your Own farm. We then continue through woodland and more farm land for a couple of miles before heading back towards the station.

For anyone who wants to stay for a drink at the end, we will head to The Station Tap opposite the station.

Travel details

If you are travelling by car, you can park in the station car park but will need to pay. You might be able to park in some of the roads near the station but please be aware parking restrictions may apply in some roads. Wherever you park, please allow time to pay if necessary and make your way to the start point on time.

Notes

Please bring a drink and a snack.
Please note: there is NO lunch stop on this walk.
It might be muddy – please wear suitable footwear.
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.
