Woodland walk and meal
The nice thing about a walk in the country at this time of year is that it is Spring and Mother Nature is coming back to life with lots of colours. Leaves are coming back on the trees, daffodils (a sure sign of spring) and all kinds of wild flowers are popping up now and hopefully the bluebells will be making an appearance. You get some impressive displays of bluebells in the woods around Goring.
The birds enjoy spring as well they will be singing away happily. When we are out in the open we should spot some Red Kites that are making a comeback in the area.
The morning walk will be about 4 Miles through woods and across meadows and should be enough to build up a healthy appetite for the excellent vegan meal that we can expect at the Catherine Wheel at about 12:30pm.
We'll be starting at Goring and Streatly station at 10am, so aim to get there at 9:45. (Direction for going directly to the Catherine Wheel are below).
After lunch a short walk (2 miles) along the river to help with the digestion.
