Saturday 20th July Old Warden > Shuttleworth 6 miles led by Tony P

This 6 mile walk had 4 walkers and started from St Leonard’s church Old Warden.
Walking down past the church, we entered Church End before making our way up towards Mount Pleasant farm,
Turning off before the farm onto the track through the fields, we entered a wooded area running parallel to the road.
Some road walking then found us heading towards the Shuttleworth collection, where following the tracks through the fields brought us out onto the North Beds Heritage Trail,

 Continuing round the perimeter of the airfield, planes were giving pleasure flights in readiness for the air show later in the day.

 

Walking on towards our well earned coffee break in a small shaded woodland, we were soon refreshed and rearing to go.

Once again on the NBHT, we continued some road walking leading us towards Warden Warren.
At the top of the incline we stopped for our picnic lunch on some well place logs.

One of the biplanes that kept buzzing us.

Suitably refreshed once again we continued through the warren and down into Old Warden passing the village hall before turning once again into the fields and joining the tracks that would lead us back towards the church.

The end of the walk.

 For the end of what was a very enjoyable walk, on a nice mild day with a breeze keeping us cool.  

Track of walk, walked in clockwise direction.
