Burghfield

Wednesday January 18 2023 @ 10:15 am - 1:00 pm

A walk around the Kennet, canal and gravel pit lakes near Burghfield, starting at the Cunning Man Pub, RG30 3RB (SU680707). There’s plenty of parking but registration plates must be recorded in the pub before the walk to avoid a fine. The walk will be about 3 miles long, mostly on the level on footpaths and lanes, may be very muddy, occasionally may be icy or very wet, short stretches of road without pavement. Please let Viv know by email by Jan 10th if you are planning to come, and whether you plan to have a meal afterwards, as the pub may need to be informed if there are large numbers.

*Update 16th Jan*

The walk will be going ahead at the planned time, 10.15 on Wednesday, from the Cunning Man pub. Due to flooding in the area it will be on a modified route, along the canal towpaths only, with some views of the gravel pits. There should be birdlife, fungi and other interest, including the pub fare afterwards! The pub is open again after a temporary closure yesterday.

Please bring waterproof footwear, wellies if possible, and perhaps a hiking stick if wished, as the path will be very wet and muddy.

Please use the contact form for further details.
