The Long Distance Walkers group organises weekend walks, usually the fourth Sunday in the month, for people who like to do a day's walk of about 15 miles, frequently visiting somewhere other than the vicinity of Letchworth.
This friendly group walks monthly, usually during the third week of the month and on sequential weekdays to allow walkers with fixed activities to fit in.
We usually meet during second or third week of the month, on varying weekdays. Our walks are normally within a 20 mile radius of Letchworth and up to 10 - 12 miles. Typically the walks are circular or figure of eight and normally feature a pub lunch.
A whole body exercise that harnesses the benefits of walking with the use of Nordic walking poles. Learn how to walk with ease, becoming faster and walking further, whilst also having fun.
Walks will be taking place on alternate Mondays and Tuesdays with optional Saturday and evening walks, depending on what you want.

This group tackles some of the many waymarked trails in the UK, usually in day long walks of 10 to 12 miles on the second Tuesday of each month. The Icknield Way Path was completed in 2013 and in 2014 we tackled the John Bunyan Trail, 77 miles through the Bedfordshire countryside. At the end of 2014 and during all of 2015 we completed the Hertfordshire Way which is a 170 mile circular trail round Hertfordshire in 14 stages of between 10-15 miles each stage.
Members contact each other for ad-hoc walks and we also arrange group walks.
We meet for coffee, usually monthly, to talk about walks we have done which others may enjoy, or walks we would like to do. New members are always welcome.
Please phone Annie for further information

A group of six Wild Walkers have just returned from the Cairngorms. This was a less rigorous trip than previous ones, with the group forswearing bothies and basing itself at a comfortable self-catering house near Braemar.
The group between them climbed six mountains including three Munros of similar heights - Derry Cairngorm 3788 ft, Lochnagar 3786ft, and Ben Vrotain 3797ft. From the summits the perfect clear air gave stupendous views of the whole of the highlands, with landmarks such as Glencoe, the Ben Nevis range and Kintail clearly visible.
