To take part, please phone Dieter on 01223 527763 or text him on 07445 807650, giving your name and phone number. We start at 10am from “Cabbages” which can be found on Explorer Map 195 at Grid Ref. 649 371, or CB10 2NY on Satnav will get you nearby. The walk is along pleasant paths with attractive vistas, through a field with horses to Great Sampford parish church, where we usually have a coffee stop. Then back along a different path.

Suggested route from Cambridge, slightly different from usual due to a road closure, so allowing some 40 minutes: take A1307 to Linton and turn right at the sign to Hadstock and Saffron Walden; at Hadstock, turn left to Bartlow, and after a mile or so, at Bartlow turn right to Ashdon. At Ashdon, turn left opposite the Rose & Crown, signed to Radwinter / Gt Sampford, and drive some 2½ miles along a windy road. At the Radwinter crossroads turn left along B1054 to Hempstead, and at the Bluebell Inn turn sharp right up a hill and continue some 1½ miles along another windy, rather narrow road. Cabbages is on the left, shortly after crossing a brook. There is limited parking on the road, so it would be helpful to share cars.
