Local Walk
Wootton to Salcey Forest and back
A circular walk of 11 miles, 6 in the morning
and 5 in the afternoon, from Wootton Fields to
Salcey Forest and back.
Lunch will be taken at Salcey Forest and you can
either bring sandwiches or purchase something from
the well stocked reasonably priced cafe.....or
both!!
Meet at 10:30am by the shops on Wootton Hope
Drive on the Wootton Fields estate. There is a good
sized car park with ample parking.
Directions from the Queen Eleanor roundabout on
the A45 are to take the Newport Pagnell road past
Wyevale Garden Centre. At the second roundabout
turn right into Wootton Hope Drive. The shops can
be found about 500 metres down on the right. Grid
reference is SP 768 567 or postcode (of the Indian
Takeaway!), which I expect most people will find
more useful, is NN4 6DY.
If anyone would like to do just the morning or
the afternoon walk then please Contact
Mark and this can easily be arranged. The
afternoon walk will start around 1:15pm.

Skye -
Cuillin Hills
7th - 14th
June 2010
The Cuillin Hills are some of the most
challenging of the Munros, so this trip will
involve a certain element of hardcore walking, but
can be combined with less hardcore things if other
people are interested, there are lots of things to
do from hard core walking to simply taking pictures
of the scenery.
The more hardcore elements, especially the
Inaccessible Pinnacle ("In Pin") will only be open
to the people who can show they have the experience
to do it, other walks / activities can be carried
out by others who do not wish to do the In Pin or
hardcore walking.
Now Fully
Booked

No plans beyond June 2010

The terms "Local walk" and "National
walk" indicate the distance from the
Northampton area to the start of the walk. National
walks will generally be in a location offering
something not found locally (such as hills!), and
will be up to two hours drive from Northampton.
Normally car sharing from Northampton will be
organised.
Walks details will be updated as soon as the
nominated leader has prepared the details of their
walk. Leaders are asked to send details in at least
one month in advance or risk the walk being offered
to others to lead.
For more details on any of the above contact the
walk / weekend leader if contact details are
provided above, otherwise Contact
Us and your
query will be passed
on. Please note that if no details other than local
or national walk and the leader's name are given
above, then nothing is yet known about the
walk.
If you don't have any questions there is no need
to contact anyone before coming on a daywalk - you
can just turn up at the start point (or mid way
point for figure of 8 walks). But it is always nice
to know if new people are coming, and it does mean
we can wait for you if you get lost on the way to
the start!
For weekends away we obviously need to make
arrangements in advance so do contact us about
those.
If you would like to lead a future walk, or
organise a weekend away, again Contact
Us or talk to us about this during a walk or
monthly pub meeting.
