Saturday 01/06/2024 - PANGBOURNE CIRCULAR VIA GORING - Leader: Nick W

Brisk walk from Pangbourne and its companion Whitchurch on the other side of the River Thames, passing on a
toll bridge over the river, with the route continuing through Great Chalk Wood to Goring for lunch. In the
afternoon the walk continues along the Thames Path with a diversion to visit Hartslock National Nature
Reserve. There is a long hill at the start and several more undulations. Hartslock is very small but a steep thereand-back. There are toilets located on Platform 2 at Pangbourne, but use toilets on the train if possible.
Lunch: at Goring where there are plenty of pubs, tea rooms and food shops (also public toilets).
