Club Walk

Rotary Walk - 17 May 2012

The Walk will start and  finish, and we will have our meal at "The Greyhound , Milton Malsor, with the usual start of 10.15 for 10.30  depart.

It will proceed to the junction of the Northampton Arm of the Grand Union Canal via fields, tow paths, public footpaths and minor roads, the precise route depending on ground conditions,  returning via the towpath and fields to the Greyhound for lunch. Menu should be available immediately before the Walk, although it is not clear whether the facilities will then be open.
