2026 Series Walks - Our 45th Year!
WE NEED YOU - 2026 DATES - WALK LEADERS REQUIRED!
Happy to help out? Please contact Steve Sloan or any committee member for these Sundays with no leaders or venues are: 30th August, 25th October, 8th November, 20th December, and 27th December 10km only from the OG's Wellingborough.
SUNDAYS
5th July: The next local series walk is The Horseshoe, Sywell, NN6 0AW. Another of our popular venues, always providing great routes. The pub has real ales and a substantial food menu, so, as always if you're going to be hungry, it's best to pre-book a table.
As usual, two routes will be available: circa 10km and 20km.
The last walk, 7th June, was from The Nag's Head, Great Linford, outside of the county with great routes organised by Adrian Moody, with many unusual and interesting features. See in the photo's of the day taken - Waendel Walkers Club | Facebook
Remember, for all normal Sunday events: As usual the desk will open around 09.30 so please do not arrive before then as the location may well have had a late Saturday and neither the venue nor the walk leader will be ready for you. We regret we continue to have to make this request but we have had a couple of complaints from our venues and we really do not wish to alienate them and thereby discourage them from hosting our events.
21st June: The Coach Trip - Well, was that the best seaside walk ever? Brenda took us to Sheringham, ending at Cromer. Who had a Cromer crab, when fish and chips seemed to be the order of the day, from the best one, Mary Jane's.

WEDNESDAYS
8th July: The next evening walk is The Globe, Raunds, NN9 6DS.
Another visit to this popular town always giving us new routes.
The last evening walk 24th June was from the Queen's Head, Higham Ferres. In the continuing good weather, rivers and lakes abounded. See all the comments and photo's on the Facebook group Waendel Walkers Club | Facebook
2026 Awards: Both presented by Pete Rickwood (Club Chairman) at the Cromer coach trip, June 2026.
Club Achievement Award: Adrian Moody and Carol Jones jointly got club achievement award
Club Member Award: Ann Roberts
2027 Series Walks - WE NEED YOUR HELP
Fancy getting your walk route done in the year? We'd still really appreciate your help, for both Sunday's and Wednesday's, to add new interesting walks and support local pubs. So, if you're interested in using one of your own walks, or simply putting your name into the hat to help organise one, then please talk to one of the committee, and it will certainly be appreciated, and first timers will be fully supported by one of us. Alternatively, for more details, please contact our walk co-ordinator Steve Sloan using the contact details on the committee page of this website.
