Halstead Walkers

Some 15 walkers from our weekend party of 23 enjoyed a 5 mile walk from our holiday base at Corton to Gorleston Sands. No sign of any storms on a perfect January day.

Safer Greener Healthier is on a mission to make our district an even better place to walk and cycle 🚶‍♀️ 🚶 🚲 You have until Friday 10 January to help them!

Thanks to your feedback, the team, which is part of Essex County Council, has been finalising the cycling and walking networks across a number of towns and cities.

They are now working on creating networks to link up rural areas, connecting our beautiful green spaces in ways that make sense to you.

On Thursday 37 walkers enjoyed their Christmas lunch at Gosfield Lake Golf Club. Thanks to Sue and Cliff for organising, Mark for his annual quiz and Bill for leading the singing.🎅

Around 25 walkers enjoyed a leisurely stroll on the south side of town on a warm August day with a welcome coffee stop at the Bull afterwards.

Join us for an hour's walk at 10 am every Monday and Thursday from Halstead Public Gardens. No membership or fee required.

Ideal walking weather for today's ramble on the north side of the town passing by Wash Farm.

Sixteen walkers enjoyed a gentle amble around town today crossing over a swollen River Colne. Warmish and no sign of recent rain.

Corton holiday day 2. Around a dozen members took the cliff top path to Hopton and enjoyed a coffee in the village pub. A small party of one continued to Gorleston and Great Yarmouth with a bus back.

Corton holiday. Nine members walked along the coast to Lowestoft stopping at Ness Point, the country's most easterly point. Weather sunny but slightly chilly.
