Test Villages

Short Walks Group

Status:Active, open to new members
Coordinator:
Sue
Group email: Short Walks group
When: Monthly on Tuesdays
monthly, 1st Tuesday

This group has been set up to encourage members to meet up and go for a short walk on
easy terrain. We usually follow a circular route from 2 to 5 miles on trails in the countryside
or town paths throughout the Test Valley and surrounding areas, no more than a 40 minute
drive from Stockbridge. The group meets on the first Tuesday of the month, usually starting
at 10am. If the walk is 4 or 5 miles it includes a mid-way stop for a chat, drink and snack. The
routes are on easy terrain with few, if any, stiles but members are advised to wear suitable
footwear and be prepared for our changeable weather (and mud in the winter months!)
Please take a look at the programme we have planned for this year and If you wish join us
please email me and I can include you in our group email and WhatsApp group.
