The Ridgeway - Fast and Light (second half)

This is the event page for the Ridgeway (second half) weekend event (including wild camping). The event page for the Ridgeway (first half) weekend event is also available here to allow you to complete the entire Ridgeway over two weekends, subject to availability.

The Route: Starting at Goring & Streatley railway station we will make our way East following one of the most ancient routes across the south of England and ending the weekend at Ivinghoe Beacon near Tring railway station.

We will cover about 70km in total - between 15km and 30km per day - starting early afternoon on the Friday. We will pass a number of historical sites and experience classic Chilterns landscapes including extensive woodland around Wendover and the dramatic chalk slopes at Ivinghoe.

More information about the Ridgeway can be found on the National Trails website: https://www.nationaltrail.co.uk/en_GB/trails/the-ridgeway/

Accommodation: We will be wild camping in appropriate locations along the Ridgeway. Therefore you need suitable equipment for wild camping at this time of the year. Please contact one of the leaders if you have not wild camped before and would like to take part - we can provide thoughts based on our wild camping experiences. 

EASING THE BURDEN - STRATAGEM 

This event was run very successfully last year. We strategically placed vehicles at each of the camping spots which meant that you only needed to carry a day pack as the camping kit was then relayed along the route by car. Additionally there are options for pub meals in the evenings or self cater at camp.
