SAPPHIRE WALK: SYWELL COUNTRY PARK | 2.2 MILES | EASY| NORTHANTS
March 13 @ 9:45 am - 12:30 pm GMT
ABOUT THE WALK:
The sapphire walks are short in length and the pace will be an unhurried pace (approximately 22-28 minutes per mile / just over 2 miles per hour). We will walk at your pace, and there will always be a tail walker so that no one gets left behind.
Just lookout for the “blue” coloured walks.
Please arrive by 9.45 am 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 to receive your new walker briefing.
ROUND ROBIN: What subject isn’t normally taught in school but should be?
MEETING PLACE: Please park at Sywell Country Park main car park. (fees are currently £3.20 for four hours. We will congregate by the cafe / toilets.
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.
