RR -BADBY WOODS & FAWSLEY BLUEBELL WALK | 5 MILES | CHALLENGING | NORTHANTS
May 5 @ 6:15 pm - 8:33 pm BST
ABOUT THE WALK:
The walk starts in the free car park (we may need to double park) just outside Badby Woods. From here we work our way into the woods. There are some tough climbs, as well as a few logs to clamber over, before making our way up onto the escarpment where we will stop for sweets and take in the views. We then follow the signs for the Knightley Way and head towards Fawsley Church. Snap a few photos of the lake and Fawsley Hall before heading across the countryside. There is a long hill that takes you back up to the woods. The final section is to complete the Badby Woods circuit which brings us back to the car park.
This is a “rapid ramble” walk, so the pace will be quite fast.
ROUND ROBIN QUESTION: Which do you prefer, going up hill or down hill?
Please arrive by 6.15 pm. We will set off at 6.30 pm 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 at the car park and please park sensibly so that others can also use the space.
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.
