Today's SS17 walkers at the Kings Head.

MEMBERS of a community walking group celebrated their 300th outing together with lunch at a country pub today (Tuesday, 9 September).

The SS17 Walking Group is based at Hardie Park in Stanford-le-Hope, from where most of its weekly journeys begin.

But occasionally they travel further afield and today they walked around Orsett, starting and finishing at the Kings head pub - which was also the venue for lunch afterwards.

Nub News caught up with the group ahead of today's walk:-
