Please note the following important points:

• Prior booking is mandatory via this link. This enables walk leaders to organise their walk in line with the number attending.
• Each individual walker must be on a separate booking, but if a walker does not have an email address, a friend or family member can book them on using their own email.
• Booking closes one hour before the walk starts.

If you have any queries about coming on this walk, please contact the walk leader on the number above. If you have booked on and are unable to attend, please inform the walk leader before the start of the walk.

Safety: We very much welcome new walkers with us, but would ask you to contact the leader beforehand to discuss the demands of the walk and what you need to bring. If you are at all unsure of your capabilities, then we suggest you try one of our shorter walks – see Walks Schedule for details.  Please note our safeguarding policy regarding children and vulnerable adults, and note also that dogs are only allowed on our 2 hour pub walks.
