Booking for this walk is now closed but you can follow the route to do the walk on your own.
Wherever you are, we invite you to make a Mandala between 12-27 September and share with us using #T100Calling or in our Facebook group.
Today, the mandala theme is Grow Your Own! Sustainable communities, grow your own vegetables and plants, foraging, live a healthy lifestyle.
We invite you to make a mandala from local produce or things you have grown yourself. Plant seeds for the future and share your dreams for a world that is changing. We can make it better!

A suggested walk route is below if you’d like to follow it yourself in your own time. The route explores the streets of the newly named Purfleet – on – Thames and ends at the High house Production Park, the home of Kinetika, to celebrate the role the arts is playing in the regeneration of the town.
Working with Heavenly Greens Fruit & Veg, local community groups and in partnership with developers PCRL. we are curating a celebratory event focused on the theme of sustainable communities, including food production and distribution. Our own mandala will be made from locally grown produce.

Thurrock 100 walks are of different lengths and on different terrain. Some are mainly on footpaths, and others mainly on footpaths where ground may be uneven. If this walk doesn’t suit you, there is probably another one that will.
