SUMMARY:

Join Retro Ramblers on a 8.3 mile loop, starting from and finishing at Chapel Street Car Park, Swindon.

We will be meeting outside the public toilets, next to Chapel Street Car Park. Using the paths, we walk through Hawthorn and Tovey Road Park, before heading down Church Walk and Haydon Wick, for a quick convienience break at Orbital Shopping Centre. From here, we head through Abbey Meads and Groundwell, for another convienience break at Dobbies Garden Centre. We then head up Kingsdown Road, along the path behind TNT and B&Q Depots, walking towards Greenbridge and back to Chapel Street Car Park. There is an option, to visit The Swiss Chalet, for a well deserved drink, which is opposite the Car Park at the end.
