North Loughton Valley Park & Concrete cow brewery – (Sat.11/04/14)
Note: Now meeting at 10:30am NOT 11:00
The theme this weekend is “concrete cows”. Join us for this walk where we will take a circular walk around North Loughton Valley park, passing by the partly restored roman villa, the Bradwell windmill and of course the infamous concrete cows that Milton Keynes is known for.
We will continue to Lodge lake, passing by the hills and hollows, a haven for wildlife (and maybe a grass snake or two) where you can attempt the “trim trail”, a series of exercise stations with ladder climbs, hurdles and leapfrogs.
Every attempted to make your own beer? Maybe tried the “cock and bull” or “watling gold” at the CSA? After the valley park we will be visiting the Concrete Cow Brewery for an introduction to the beer making process, along with a taster sessions and a gift pack of three ales normally retailing at £9

North Crawley (Sun. 05/01/14)
We open 2014 with a walk to North Crawley!
Very easy and short trek to have a pint and socialize in The Cock Inn. I will take playing cards just in case, any other board game will be very welcome from my side (fingers crossed for a Carcassonne :P). The way back will be in the dark; Wear warm clothes and bring torches if you want.
