Join OutdoorLads for a Sunday "saunter" from the Bedfordshire market town of Leighton Buzzard.

Following a short wander through parkland we join the Grand Union Canal.  The first half of the walk or thereabouts follows this as it meanders north through increasingly rural scenery to the Three Locks, where we'll probably (depending on timing) stop for lunch, there's also a pub here so if it's open anyone who wishes can cram in a quick pint!

A little further on we leave the canal and head up a steep hill (one of the few on the walk) to enter the woodland of Rushmere Country Park, through which we continue, with a bit of up and down, until we return to the outskirts of Leighton Buzzard.

We then join the Riverside Walk back into the centre, and optionally to a local pub for a drink at the end.

This event is easily accessible by train from London, Birmingham, Milton Keynes etc and timings have been set for that to work so if you don't drive it could be one for you.  Car is of course fine too.

 

Don't waste that space!

Please only book if you know you can make it. If your plans change please free up the space for someone else.

Is it dog friendly? 

Dogs are welcome but please note and abide by the Countryside Code (https://tinyurl.com/rlqvp3h) and be prepared for a couple of stiles / hills on the walk and fields with livestock. Please also remember not everyone loves dogs as much as you do so please be mindful of other members.
