~~15th June~~	The research for this walk has been ably done by Bryan and George, [who both know a thing or two about walking]. Plan A Meet at Kelvedon at 12.30pm on the B1024 (the old A12), at Grid Reference 859184. At this point the road takes a sharp double bend fortuitously skirting round the Angel pub. Parking might be possible somewhere along the road. The walk covers a distance of approximately five miles and a packed lunch is recommended. About three quarters of the way into the walk our route could be contorted slightly, to come across the pub in Inworth. Decisions, decisions… However, by popular request and, on this occasion only, members will be allowed a ‘free’ vote! It is essential that walkers read (and understand), the content of the small print below. 1),Walkers walk at their own risk. 2),There is no Plan B. But the Pub was closed!
~~20th July~~	20th July A Circular walk around Danbury and Little Baddow. Meet at the Danbury Community Centre car park near Eves Corner at 12.30pm. Parking available with another car park just down Mayes Lane. The walk covers 5.5 miles. Toilets are available and will be pointed out on route after money changes hands. The walk covers wild life habitats, orchards, meadows, National Trust woodland and many views. Towards the end of the walk there is a gentle climb back to Danbury. Bring a packed lunch. And by chance the Cricketers pub is a short boundary away at the end. And it will be open!!! Contact Tony and Frances 07885 204347 or 01245 442188
17th August	Newport and Debden. This walk will start from the car park of Newport Station. Ref 167/522 336. Bring a pound coin!

The return leg will take us across part of Debden Park and then on through the valley of Debden Water. There pubs at Newport and Debden. Distance 6.5 miles. Your leaders for the day will be Jean & David who have road-tested the Debden pub.
