Date: 17th January 2026 Leader: Roselle Distance: 6.2 miles
On a wet, misty January day, 12 hardy souls plus one dog – Taz, set off from Hurley. Amongst us were three possible new members who were coming along to see what they thought. The forecast wasn’t brilliant but as the walk progressed, small areas of blue sky could be seen amongst the thick cloud, and the rain held off. Under foot, the ground was very muddy in places but nowhere was physically underwater! At the top of the hill, by Keepers cottage, we saw our first snowdrops. On reaching the Thames, one could see that it was very close to making its way across the water meadow. However we were lucky and although the ground was muddy it was walkable. Everyone enjoyed the walk and were glad they had come along.
