2026 Series Walks
2026 - WALK LEADER REQUIRED!
Happy to help out? Please contact Steve Sloan or any committee member for Sunday 8th November as we have no leader or venue.
SUNDAYS
30th August: the next series walk, from Shuckburgh Arms, Southwick, PE8 5BL. Another deserving visit to this beautiful area and amazing pub, with great ales and food (but don't expect anything like a trad Sunday dinner)
As is normal, two routes will be avalable: circa 10 and 20km.
The last walk, 16th August from Doddington Club - The WWC's 45th Anniversary!!
What a fabulous day for celebrating our 45th anniversary, with a walk from Doddington Club, followed by a very good buffet lunch.
A lovely sociable occation, thanks to Andrew for organising the walk and ordering the anniversary polo shirts. Thanks to Steve and Pete for arranging the buffet and venue, and to Alan and Julia for the celebration cake and amazing apple pies made with Alan's award winning apples.
So good to members who were walking with the club 45 years ago and one who is still walking with us today. Lots of memories and photo's shared and more taken today that we can hopefully look back on in 5 years time at our 50th celebration. 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.
13th September: The Coach Trip into Buxton
The booking list will be open from 19th July at all subsequent events, so be sure to get your name down, with the deposit, to guarantee a seat. For more info see:
WEDNESDAYS - The last evening walk of 2026!
19th August: The next evening walk is Olde Victoria, Burton Latimer NN15 5NJ
Another popular venue in recent years, with a big garden, good food, big restaurant and good award winning ales. Let's hope for continuing good weather.
The last evening walk: 5th August was from the Stags Head, Earls Barton in perfect weather, we explored the Nene Valley. See all the comments and photo's on the Facebook group Waendel Walkers Club | Facebook

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.
