BAFA Walking Group

Well done to all at yesterday's walk. Despite many detours, boggy fields, wet feet, climbing stiles, and swinging on gates, we enjoyed it with many tears of laughter. The walk took place on Saturday 30th March meeting at point 1 car park at 9:15am, the 5.1-km circular trail near Pangbourne, Berkshire. Generally considered an easy route, it takes an average of 1 h 7 min to complete. This is a popular trail for hiking, running, and walking, but you can still enjoy some solitude during quieter times of day. The best times to visit this trail are March through October.

Dinton Pastures Country Park Walk on Saturday 24th February.

Get to know this 5.3-km circular trail near Reading, Berkshire. Generally considered an easy route, it takes an average of 1 h 8 min to complete. This is a popular trail for birding, hiking, and running, but you can still enjoy some solitude during quieter times of day.

The BAFA team kicked off the Walking Group last Saturday with an enthusiastic group of ramblers. The group lead by Heather Husbands walked around the Historical Forbury ruins and along the picturesque River Thames. We’ll be out once a month so come and join us for the February walk.
