Walk Description:

Houghton is beautiful, especially at this time of year. The trees are still spectacular even in the winter months.

We’ll enjoy the labyrinth of paths that wind through the woods, giving us plenty of different route options to explore.

The terrain can be muddy this time of year, so wear good shoes. 

Walking Levels Explained

Easy – Up to 2.5 to 3 mph

Ideal for casual walkers who enjoy conversation along the way. These walks are mostly flat, and any hills will be tackled slowly and gently.

Moderate – 3 to 3.5 mph

A steady pace that may lead to slightly heavier breathing, particularly on inclines. Suitable for those looking for a bit more of a workout.

Challenging – 3.5 to 4 mph

Suited for experienced walkers who enjoy pushing their pace. These walks may include longer durations (2+ hours), steeper inclines/declines, or uneven terrain. Though challenging, there will be moments to catch your breath, usually on flat or downhill sections.

Note: We never leave anyone behind. The walk leader makes sure everyone is looked after.
