OK its been a busy few months, and one without blogs! There is usually a short and a longer walk every weekend, plus a walk during the week and the odd social! Hopefully something for almost everyone. Obviously before deciding which walk to do its advisable to look at the mileage involved and how long it is likely to take. If it says something like 15 miles it will be a fairly fast pace. If it is an 8 mile all day walk it will be more leisurely and probably a few stops including a tea shop or pub. In fact one week we had something on 6 days out of 7! ......
Here is a sample.

Saturday 16th July and Sunday 17th 2011

Festival of History. Held over two days this is an excellent event not to be missed.
Over 2,000 years of history, and over 1,000 re-enactors make this the ultimate historical adventure at the Festival of History at Kelmarsh Hall, Northamptonshire, presented by English Heritage. A full selection of living history encampments displayed stretching from an authentic Roman camp through to World War Two. The event featured everything from falconry, jousting displays and battle re-enactments to music, dance and ale.

Just a few of some of the Festival of History reinactments.

Visit to Redbournbury Mill an Active Social.

There were four floors of the mill museum to explore and displays on how the mill works and the machinery was working producing flour. We went for a short circular walk, some walked less than others, but no more than 5 miles!

These are just down the road from Redbournbury mill itself.

Some of us have come back from Norway. Not for the fainthearted this trip! There are some amazing photos though, check out the album. https://picasaweb.google.com/117786250921657920836/NorwayJulyAugust2011
