Current Events
Walking provides health and economic benefits and there are many
places to walk in Dereham, some are public streets, some are parks and
open spaces. Dereham has 35 public rights of way - paths and tracks
which everyone can use by right. We have published fourteen
walk-guides which cover most of the countryside
paths.
Join us for a 6¾ miles walk, taking about 2¾ hours including a brief rest break part way round. The walk will take us across some of the less used parts of The Neatherd, and on to Northall Green. Continuing north, we go on to Hoe, descending through Hoe Common and across Hoe Rough on the fringes of Beetley. We return along Mill Lane (part of Wensum Way) and then down Quebec Road back to the town.
Advance booking is advised, with tickets costing £5, which includes tea or coffee plus cake on return. Contact Ken Hawkins dtc.fpwarden@talktalk.net (07505 426750) or any committee member.

Our fundraising quiz was won by Sue from Toftwood. As well as the kudos of being the winner, she also receives a £10 voucher donated by Dereham Co-oP.
Quiz and answers (pdf - opens in new window).
In a break from our usual format, the emphasis of this short walk is the views
of our town itself. Exploring some of Dereham's history we also have a peak
behind the scenes.

Starting at Church House we crossed Neatherd Moor on our way to explore Etling
Green.
The walk returned to Church House where we held our Annual Public Meeting; a review of the year and an opportunity to ask questions of the committee and make suggestions, with free tea/coffee and cake.
