In 2010 we are planning to walk the New River Path in three stages. The approximate length of each stage will be between 8 and 10 miles with stops being taken to highlight points of historical interest. Each walk is planned for either the Saturday or Sunday on the 5th/6th June, 17th/18th July and 9th/10th October and will be for a full day. There will be short breaks for refreshments and a picnic lunch. The exact date will be notified nearer the time. The terrain will be flat but stout walking shoes are advisable. Public transport will be used to get to and from the beginning and end of the walks. The list for these walks is now closed, but if you would like to go on a waiting list then use the Contact us link.
