Want to get out into the countryside? Then join us for an afternoon walk to help you get some extra steps in for the weekend, some fresh air and hopefully some sunshine! Maybe celebrate Father's day with this stroll to Woodnewton and back and time to explore the history and hostelry of Fotheringhay at your leisure.
This is a 5 mile route from Fotheringhay to Woodnewton and back in a circular walk across the gently rolling hills of Northamptonshire. We will have the opportunity to visit Coco the Clown's grave at Woodnewton too.
This Sunday afternoon walk is open to all CSSC members (children and friendly dogs also welcome!). Wherever you work or if you're retired and would like to get involved, please book now to avoid disappointment.
