Our walks are suitable for experienced walkers who prefer to walk shorter distances. Walks may involve short steep ascents/descents, rough ground and stiles. These factors will be highlighted in the walk description.

Dogs are welcome but in control of the owner.

Waterproof and warm clothing and suitable walking footwear are essential. A snack and a drink are recommended.

Please be aware that walkers do so at their own risk and must complete the Health and Safety form before their first walk.

There will be one walk per month which will be on different days of the week.

Could you please email me if you are interested in joining this group and the information on future walks will be forwarded to you.

If you would like to lead a walk, please contact me.
