We don’t currently have a walk organised for Sunday. If anyone would like to lead one, please do step forward. Otherwise, I’m happy to take out my local seven‑miler, with a “coffee” stop at The Queen’s Head in Saddington.

General information:

The Fleckney Walking Club offers a range of walks for anyone who enjoys fresh air, good company, and the occasional debate about whose turn it is to get lost.
All walks start from Fleckney Village car park (What3Words: ///loses.always.huts).

Weekday Morning Walks

We head out every weekday at 8:30 a.m. for a 3–6 mile leg‑stretcher. These are friendly, local, and an excellent excuse to pretend we’re “morning people”.

Sunday Walks

Every Sunday we meet at 9:30 a.m.

The Sunday programme alternates each time:

• Every week: a short walk (4–6 miles) with a coffee stop
• Every other week: a medium walk (6–8 miles) with a pub stop

And so the cycle continues, like a well‑oiled machine… or at least a machine that’s had a coffee or a pint.

Good boots and weatherproof layers are strongly advised, especially for those who attract rainclouds. Bring refreshments too — a coffee or picnic stop is usually part of the ritual.

If we’re travelling outside Fleckney, car sharers are asked to contribute 20p per mile (one way).
Example: 10 miles = £2, plus whatever emotional support the driver requires.

Thursday Evening Walks (Summer)

In summer, we also run Thursday evening walks of 4–6 miles, starting at 7 p.m. from the village car park.
If the programme creeps into September, we shuffle the start to 6:15 p.m. in a brave attempt to outrun the sunset.

Most Thursday walks this year are local, so no transport or complicated logistics — just turn up and look enthusiastic.

Leading a Walk

If you fancy leading a walk, we have plenty of route ideas here. You bring the charm; the rest of us will bring the heckling.

Cancellations

If a walk is cancelled (usually due to weather, occasionally for common sense reasons), the leader will notify everyone via email and WhatsApp and will also appear at the meeting point to console any optimists who turned up anyway.

Membership

Annual membership remains a bargain at £5, which is less than the price of a pint on most of our pub‑stop routes.
