PLEASE CONTACT THE GROUP LEADER BEFORE ATTENDING FOR THE FIRST TIME

The Longs Walks group have an opportunity to be the Walk Leader for February and August, starting in Feb.2027.

Welcome to the Burton Long Walks page. We meet on the 2nd Friday of each month at the walk starting point and start walking at 10am. The Group Leader will send out the walk details a week or so prior to the walk date.

The next Long Walk will be led by Dennis on Friday Nov.13th, at 10am, from TBA... Well, they say things come in 3's?

Details will be emailed to the group a week or so before.

Please join the Prostate Cancer November Walk Challenge and Fundraiser to support research and men on this journey.

We are a friendly group and the Circular walks are between 6 - 7 miles. We walk at an average of 2mph. We take a couple of 5-ish minute water breaks during the walk and normally stop at a cafe/pub at the end, to refuel.

We hope new friends will join us for our scenic walks - your friends are always welcome, they can do any 2 group taster sessions before they become members. There are no fees for the walks.

We sometimes meet to arrange carpools, either at the Newton Road car park between the Trent Bridge and The Sump (park in the main car park where there are toilets available).

R95M+R5 Burton-on-Trent

or at the Rolleston Club car park (at the back near the bowls green).

Oct.9th walk summary...

Hi folks, Seventeen of us enjoyed today's walk. 

There should have been 20 but 3 had to cancel last minute.

There were some nice far-reaching views to the northeast and a stroll through the village of Smisby (mentioned in the1086 Domesday Book), Woodcote Woodlands, and parts of the National Forest, Way, The Ivanhoe Way and The MacMillan Coast to Coast Walk.

Nine stayed for refreshments at the Milking Parlour afterwards.

Thanks everyone for coming along, and I hope to see you on the November walk.

Happy Hiking, Herb
