Wellingborough Eco Group
Thank you to the 16 people that joined us today for The Great Big Green Wellingborough Walk and Cycle. It was a great event and we will do it again, the walk and the cycle was lovely and then top top it off we had a massive BBQ and buffet!
Whilst ten happy cyclists took off on The Great Big Green Wellingborough Circular Walk and Cycle six mile Red Route, we join Jonathan, Jane, Aleksandra and Stefania walking on three mile Green Route. Here they take you round on today’s three mile Green Route is off road cycle paths all the way.
Watch us walk the Green Route –
From ECO HUB we follow cycle paths through Queensway Park and then take paths through green space next to Hardwick Road. We take Old Hardwick Road up to the Community Garden (which we have a little look around) then through the parkland on Park Farm, into Queensway Park and then back to ECO HUB.
The cyclists took on and very nearly completed the six mile Red Route. Obviously the children need to stop at every playground on the way and were completely worn out, but had certainly worked up an appetite so our BBQ and buffet went down well!
Watch Jonathan and Looby do the Red Route –
The six mile Red Route took them through many of our local parks. From ECO HUB go through the houses to Shelley Road and into Stanwell Park. Across Northampton Road to go past the lake into Croyland Park. Then through houses and Spring Gardens, across Oxford Street, through Bassetts Close Park to Brickhill Road and then through a green space following the cycle path onto Hardwick Road. Then through Glamis Meadow and Wood into Kilborn Park. Up Blaydon Walk onto Waterworks Lane to join Hardwick Road again. Then through the parkland on Park Farm, into Queensway Park and then back to ECO HUB.
Massive thank you to Emma Davies for preparing a cracking buffet, to Judy and Jonathan for being our guides, and most of all to Justyna and Dominic, Celina, Sebastian, Stefania and Aleksandra, Sabina and Inacy, Tim and Rachel, Jane, Beata and Nela for joining our Circular Walk and Cycle for The Great Big Green Week and Better Transport Week.
