Walk Description:

We park in the normal Stansted Park overflow car park before walking through the fields and woods to the Racton Folly.  There is supposed to be a ghost living there!!  Then, if we survive, we will head back through the woods to Stansted.  This can be either a 3.5 mile or a slightly longer 4.7 mile, mainly flat walk, depending on the route taken on the day, with a few inclines.  Please allow 1 and a half to 2 hours.  Optional coffee at the lovely garden centre afterwards.

 

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.
