The Big SLJ Walk

Walking is a great way to get your daily exercise and anyone can do it. We are lucky to have amazing footpaths and trails around Sevenoaks and we’d like to share more of them with you by inviting you to join us for The Big SLJ Walk.

Donation to Trinitas who makes Reusable Sanitary pads in Malawi

This will be a guided walk of roughly 2 hours at a sociable walking pace starting at 10am on a Sunday - roughly monthly. The Big SLJ Walk is free to join but we’d appreciate a donation of £1 per person which will be donated to charity - for the moment we are fundraising for Tani Pads in Malawi. We’d also like to do some litter picking en route at the same time - Runners call it plogging, we are not sure what the walking term is!

Anyone who enjoys walking can join us including dogs, although we would expect dogs to be well behaved and if needed, on a lead. Each Big Walk will leave from a different location, we may end up at or near a pub for an optional drink at the end. Obviously you wouldn’t have to come to every walk. The Big Walk will be hosted by SLJ and Oaks Blokes but it is important to know that we are just leading this, not coaching.

The next Big Walk will be on April 14th

Meet point - we will be meeting on the green in front of the Chaser Inn at Shipbourne.
Time 9.45 ready to leave promptly at 10.00am.
Route -A flat figure of 8 route for a change! Normally a few sheep on the way so dogs on leads.

Some of these routes are quite flat, others can be extremely hilly, we will aim to catch our breath at the tops of challenging hills, and enjoy the view!

If you know your child will be comfortable walking this distance please bring them but they will be your responsibility to look after.

The routes are not suitable for babies in buggies.

Should you want to turn back to your car at any point, or indeed go faster than the groups is walking, that is not a problem but you will have to take responsibility for that yourself.

Dogs are welcome to join you as long as they are well behaved, you bring poo bags and are aware of the need to put them back on a lead near roads or livestock.

Injuries - please be aware that the trails and paths can be slippery and by joining this walk you do so at your own risk. Many of the leaders are First Aid trained & can give some assistance if an injury occurs.
