Let's Walk

Let's Walk is back on the waterways this Thursday 29 October, starting from the car park on Simpson Road (MK6 3AG) next to the activity centre. It's a Canal & River Trust activity, and the whole thing is free to join. The walk itself takes an hour and a half and covers about four miles, so it's a decent stretch of the legs without being a full-day commitment.

The route follows the canal and the river Ouzel, passing Mount Farm, Fenny lock and Caldecotte Lake. It's led by Canal & River Trust volunteers, and they describe the walks as free, fun and friendly — the kind of thing you can do with a few friends or just turn up and meet new people along the way. The Trust runs these as part of its work as a waterways and wellbeing charity, and they invite walkers to donate to support the cause if they're feeling generous.

It's open to adults and children from seven years old upwards, though children need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Booking is through Eventbrite, one time slot per person, and they ask that you arrive no more than 15 minutes before your slot. The walk starts at 10:00 on Thursday 29 October from the Simpson Road car park, and entry is free.
