DELAPRE WHALE / GOLDEN GLOW WALK | APPROX 3.7 MILES | EASY | NORTHANTS

November 16 @ 6:15 pm - 8:15 pm GMT

If Strava art is your thing then join us for an evening walk that is shaped like a whale!

🥾 ABOUT THE WALK 🥾

Starting from the main car park we will head towards the lake. You may be wondering why we have called this the “whale walk” – when you look at the map, it is shaped like a whale, that is the only reason. As far as I am aware there are no whales in the lake…. but you never know! We also walk over the golden glow bridge which is very pretty at this time of year.

This is a nice easy walk and the terrain is mainly paved. We will walk along the lake, up to the rafting centre and then make our way back to the main car park in a full loop, stopping for sweets along the way.

🗣 WALK LEADERS: Mike Wilcox

Please arrive by 6.15 pm we will set off at 6.30 pm sharp. If this is your first walk then please seek out the walk leader who will be wearing a red walk leader badge.

🐶 Is this a dog-friendly walk? Yes

❓ ROUND-ROBIN QUESTION: What are you watching on Netflix / Prime / Series on TV right now?

Note: we often meet in places where there is no postcode, so we encourage you to use the What3Words app which will take you to the exact location.

🎒 WHAT TO BRING WITH YOU

  • A torch (please no head torches as they tend to blind people). We recommend THIS torch if you do not already have one.
  • Please also wear bright clothing (hig his or a runners strip, arm lights or something similar) – safety first.
  • Good trainers or walking shoes (and other clothes of course!).
  • A drink. 

⛑ RULES TO KEEP YOU SAFE :

  • We walk in all weathers, however, if we have a weather warning then the event may be cancelled. You will be notified by email, but we will also update the Facebook event if we need to cancel a walk.
  • We will only ever walk in groups of 15 or less. If we have more than 15, we will have two walk leaders and walk in opposite directions.
  • Sweets at the halfway stage – we call this “squidge and dip” – hand sanitiser, then dip in for your free sweets. If we have furry friends, then we also have “treats” at the halfway stage.
