TOWCESTER / ROTHERSTHORPE RAMBLE | APPROX 15 MILES | MODERATE| NORTHANTS
April 24 @ 9:00 am - 3:30 pm BST
ABOUT THE WALK:
A rapid ramble walk is either a shorter walk, but fast-paced (16-19 minute miles) Or, a longer walk at a good pace (from 10-20 miles in length). These walks have been designed for the experienced walker who is keen to keep a good pace and put in some mileage.
Today's walk was a trail that was completed during lockdown (see vlog below). It is full of wildlife and has a range of terrain. If you are training for a long hike then this is a walk for you. Remember your packed lunch!
ROUND ROBIN: Which is better, Christmas, Easter or birthdays?
Please arrive by 8.45 am we will set off at 9am sharp. If this is your first AG walk, then please arrive nice and early and seek out the walk leader (they will be wearing a red badge) to receive your new walker briefing.
MEETING PLACE: Meet at Long Stay Car Park (free parking) in Towcester
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? As these walks are either fast-paced or long then please consider the other hikers if you intend to bring a dog. The longer walks will most definitely have stiles.

RULES TO KEEP YOU SAFE :
