DIY - Walking for Yourself

 

This is a new section which is currently under development.  It will contain information and guidance on the local Colchester countryside, recommendations for walks and where to find useful information.

 

Camuplodunum

 

A 25 mile long distance walk around Colchester.  This walk is broken down into convenient sections orientated to bus routes or can be taken in two bites or even as a long-distance challenge.  Click here for details.

 

The Keeble Collection

 

This is a first of a list of wonderful walks both short and long that Derek Keeble has put together over many years of rambling.  Each walk includes an interesting description and a sketch map to guide you round.  You probably don't even need an Ordnance Survey map to get you round.  But try and get one anyway, it makes for good training to relate the description and the ground to the OS map.  Venture on the walk at your own risk, the Colchester Group of Ramblers Association takes no responsibility for the description or what you may encounter on the walk.  All the information is prepared in good faith.  The walks are listed below you will need Acrobat Reader to view the descriptions.  Click here if you need to download a copy.
