Please read this carefully

Before leaving home, be sure you are fit enough and equipped sufficiently to undertake your walk.
If you’re unsure of your fitness level, try a short easy walk first, it’s much better to find a walk a little too slow than to make yourself miserable and exhausted.

Most of our walks are off-road in rural areas.

Please have suitable footwear and clothing for both walk and weather (you can check our web-site for the day’s weather).

Bring some food and drink even if the walk includes a pub or café break. Leaders may possibly refuse to accept participants who are not adequately fit or equipped. If in doubt phone the leader first.

For your own and others’ safety, please abide by the advice herein and the instructions of the walk leader.

Although walking is one of the safest outdoor activities, none is completely without risk. It is your responsibility to behave sensibly and minimise the potential for accidents.

You are NOT covered by us or the leaders for personal injury or loss, the cost would have been too great and the scheme could not have gone ahead.

It is your decision if you walk with us under these terms. If you are unknown to your walking group, you may be asked for your name at the start.

Please co-operate and give it.

Regular short walks in your local area giving you the chance to improve your health,
make new friends and get to know your local environment.

There is no need to buy any equipment - just turn up on the day.
Dress sensibly for the weather and wear appropriate footwear.
You might like to take a bottle of water with you, particularly in warmer weather.

Dogs are not allowed, with the exception of guide dogs.
Smoking is not allowed during the walks or at the meeting point.
