Event Description:
For our penultimate event of 2012 the Sense Solar Series heads to the heart of the UK as we explore the Nene Way. Starting from the pictureseque village of Woodford (just outside Kettering) we follow the River Nene as it meanders its way to Thrapston. From here we continue along the river finally arriving at Oundle and its quaint streets and country pubs. We then go North West to Warmington where we leave the River Nene and head into the outskirts of Peterborough completing the challenge at the Sense Resource Center and a welcome celebratory drink.
Whether you want to enjoy a fun day out, challenge yourself, or just to do something for charity, this event could be the perfect one for you!
