Just a reminder that the comfortably - paced walks are led by two trained leaders and take an average of one hour to complete. August's programme for the Huntingdon Group includes the “ Buckden Ramble ” , which will leave the Village Hall at 10am Friday the 12th . Please check the leaflet or the website below for information about the remaining eight “ out - of - village ” walks. It is important, especially in the summer, to carry a bottle of drinking water with you, and to wear clothing and footwear to match the likely weather.
