Walks Programme |

| Sunday 1 February |
Bring a packed lunch or snack. Please note that there are many stiles on this route – we will take our time at these, for those of you like me whose legs are not as supple as they used to be. Not suitable for dogs due to stiles, sheep and cattle in some fields. Many of the field paths will be muddy so make sure you have waterproof footwear. Meet at the Thornton turning off the A422. Travelling from MK, turn left at the signpost for Thornton and immediately on the right is a lay-by section of the old road with plenty of parking space. Note: The Thornton Road and river bridge is currently closed to road traffic but the lay-by is still open.    | 07710 423032 Philip T | ||

| Friday 6 March |
Three nights away (details below) with perhaps a 6 mile walk on Saturday 7 March 2026. and a 10 mile walk on Sunday 8 March 2026. Details of the walks are not yet known but will be agreed with those walk leaders joining the trip. Be aware that will not have done a “recce” for these walks; but we will ensure that at least two experienced walk leaders are present on each walk. Our base for the walk will be Longmynd House, Church Stretton, owned by the walking cooperative HF Holidays, about 120 miles from Milton Keynes. Full Board for three nights from 6 March currently costs £469 for a single en-suite room and £439 per person for a double room. Unfortunately the price has increased since I first posted the details. A packed lunch is included on each walking day. The webpage to see the details of the walk can be found at: https://www.hfholidays.co.uk/holidays-and-tours/3-night-shropshire-hills-self-guided-walking-holiday. The details of the HF country house can be found at: https://www.hfholidays.co.uk/country-houses/locations/church-stretton-shropshire-hills. We will be starting each walk at 10 am outside Longmynd house, so if you prefer you can book your own accommodation rather than stay with HF Holidays. Wherever you are staying, please let the organiser (Philip T) know that you will be coming; so no one gets lost or left out. Shared cars to the hotel can be arranged on request. If you are travelling by train, there is a station at Church Stretton (change at Crewe). Where: Longmynd Hotel Cunnery Road Church Stretton Shropshire Additional Details: Check in time for the hotel/house is 4 pm on Friday 6 March. Check out time is 10 am on Monday 9 March 2026. Please ignore the stated finish date and time shown in Walks Manager, as it does not allow for multi walk breaks | 07710 423032 Philip T | ||
