FARTHINGSTONE UFO WALK | 5.5 MILES | MODERATE| NORTHANTS
June 15 @ 9:45 am - 1:00 pm BST
ABOUT THE WALK:
We set off from the church and walk along the road taking photos of the Crockery Cottage before heading off road and through over fields. Some areas of this trail may be overgrown, so please wear long trousers. You will see swans nesting, lakes, a fabulous golf course and of course the famous UFO! There is a small element of road walking before negotiating our way through more fields before looping back to Farthingstone.
ROUND ROBIN QUESTION: Do you believe there is life on another planet? IF so what?
Please arrive by 09:45 hrs we will set off at 10 am sharp. If this is your first AG walk, then please arrive nice and early and seek out the walk leader who will be wearing a red “walk leader” pin badge.
MEETING PLACE: Meet on the road just outside of the main church in Farthingstone.
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.

IS THIS WALK DOG FRIENDLY? Small dogs only please as there are a few awkward stiles to negotiate and there may be cattle in a few of the fields.
