Cowes and Gurnard Bay Circular

This walk takes us west out of West Cowes along the picturesque coastal paths by Gurnard Bay and Thorness Bay. We then circle back inland mostly off-road before the last stretch walking up the River Medina back into Cowes to finish back at the Red Jet terminal (with option of pub). See the full route here.

This walk will be the lovely Anthony Gowen's assessment event as he endeavours to become a Lowland and Hill Walk Leader with OutdoorLads. Your support for Anthony is sought.

Dogs are welcome to join us on this event but we do ask the following: Please ensure you adhere to the Countryside Code at all times - see (Keeping Dogs Under Effective Control). If your dog is uncontrolled and strays in open land frightening other animals or livestock, the leader is supported by the OutdoorLads board of trustees to ask you to leave the event as this is not acceptable behaviour.

IMPORTANT! - Participation Statement

You MUST complete a Participation Statement in addition to booking your event space before attending an OutdoorLads event. You only need to complete this Participation Statement once, not for each event you attend.
