Hi fellow walkers,
Due to the success of January's easy walk and as we've had even more rain since then, we have decided to keep walking in fields to a minimum so this month's walk will walk along the towpath from Willington to the Stenson Bubble where dogs are allowed in the area to the right of the bar and we can get teas and coffees in addition to cold drinks from the bar.
Unfortunately they only do their main menu and a carvery on Sundays so we won't be able to get food but there is a cafe on the opposite side of the towpath that will do snacks so we can decide which we prefer on the day.
We can always eat a sandwich as we walk along if we get really hungry OR if the majority agree, we can do a detour on the return and go to The Mercia Marina for a sandwich or snack. This will add approx half a mile to the walk.
Details for the walk are:
Date: Sunday, 25th February
Meet: 10.30 outside 75 Wheeldon Avenue
Car Share: Is available on a first come first served basis. Prior notice of requests or offers is always helpful
Park: The railway car park in Willington (no charge)
Distance: 4.6 miles (5-ish if we do a detour to The Mercia Marina)
Terrain: Easy / flat along the canal towpath. If we decide to go to the Marina it will take us over a bridge and through a field
General Please be prepared for inclement weather and the odd spot of mud. The tow path is part old concrete and part grass
Dogs As always well behaved dogs on a lead are always welcome
Refreshments Tea & coffee at The Stenson Bubble public house. Or drinks and snacks in the cafe in front of the Bubble. And/or Mercia Marina.
We can decide on the day which we prefer
We hope to return to adventure walks for the rest of the year but the weather will dictate this. Meantime we look forward to seeing you a week on Sunday.
Lyn & Peter
