To The World's End, Burton Joyce, & Lowdam - Day Walk
17 people attending
3 places left
The World’s End movie is about male buddies, nostalgia, friendship, and the greatest of British hobbies – drinking beer! Not much different to an OutdoorLads walk then, or indeed this very satisfying walk with a pub near the beginning at lunch and maybe a third.
This walk begins at Burton Joyce which is described as the wholesome Nottinghamshire village where celebrities are regularly spotted. So keep your eyes peeled, as we head straight for the Lord Nelson.
However we won't linger too long, we're on a mission to reach The Worlds End (the real one, The World’s End pub featured in the film is actually a drinking hole called The Gardeners Arms in Letchworth Garden City, a must if you’re down in Hertfordshire). We'll cross a mixture of field paths and tracks and follow the Cocker Beck en-route to Lowdam.
After mid-day refreshments, the afternoon walk is all flat, with the exception of one small hill leaving Lowdam. There may be another opportunity to 'whet the whistle' at Gunthorpe, before a lazy ramble back following the banks of the River Trent on a meandering route back to Burton Joyce.
Waitlist: If this event is fully booked and you want to attend, just add yourself to the waitlist, because places inevitably become available closer to the date.

What to bring
This walk whilst fairly gentle is 11 miles (18km) therefore I would still recommend good walking boots are necessary, however you won't get sent home on this occasion if you're wearing trainers (however your footwear should have good grip considering that it may be boggy in places if we get wet weather ahead of the walk).
The recommended minimum kit for this event is as follows;
- Walking Boots
- Socks
- Gaiters (optional)
- Walking Shorts/Trousers (not jeans)
- Waterproof Jacket
- Mid Layer (e.g. Fleece)
- Warm Hat

- Rucksack
