10:00am-2:00pm8 miles circular: Around the Claydons
From our starting point at the village hall we will follow the road through Botolph Claydon to emerge on a high ridge looking towards Quainton hill in the distance. We will follow a grassy track along the ridge and then continue on a permissive path around Runts Wood. We will continue on the  Bernwood Jubilee Trail passing Finemerehill House and then gently descending through the woods on a Land Rover track. A quiet country lane will then take us to a short stretch of road walking and the entrance to Claydon estate. We will have our picnic lunch next to Claydon House where there are toilets.

Lunch will be followed by a visit to the village of Middle Claydon where the old red phone box has been locked and is being preserved as a feature of the village. An easy two mile walk will then return us to our starting point in East Claydon.

Where: East and Botolph Claydon Village Hall Next to East Claydon School
 
Additional Details: Easy parking on the road in front of East Claydon school

Toilets at our lunch break at Claydon House

10:00am-3:45pm10¼ miles circular: Stoke Goldington and Salcey Forest
Wonderful field and forest walk, starting from the picturesque village of Stoke Goldington. We walk along the high street to Dag Lane and then round Stokepark Wood and join Midshires Way past a large solar power farm. We then walk north into the ancient woodland of Stacey Forest. 
 

We will stop for an extended lunch and a toilet break at the café and car park area of the forest. Bring a packed lunch or buy something at the café. We then return via the eastern end of the forest and farm field paths to the church at Stoke Goldington, and then back to High Street. 
 

There are just two stiles on the return leg of this route but several  roads and two streams to cross. Much of it is along bridleways currently churned up by the horses, so come prepared for mud.  Although it is 10 miles, we will take it at a leisurely pace with several stops.
 

Where: Village Hall

10:00am-1:30pm8 miles circular: Kingston Redway Walk
Starting at Kingston library we will walk along the picturesque Broughton Brook and slowly circle around the surrounding areas ending back at Kingston.

There are no stiles and all the walk is along hard path surfaces so hopefully no muddy boots for a change.

Due to the length of the walks we will be stopping twice, please bring a pack lunch and own refreshments. 

Please note this is the first morning of 'British Summer Time' so clocks would have moved forward an hour overnight. 

 

Where: Winchester cycle Kingston Milton Keynes
 
Additional Details: We will be meeting at Kingston library, free parking is available in this retail park
